Hey everyone,

Long story short, I was writing my master's thesis and felt like none of the writing assistants did what I wanted, so I decided to create my own. The goal for it was to be a simple easy-to-use tool that uses LLMs to assist you in your reading and writing work.

Would love to get your feedback on it.

Cheers

I don't get it. The service seems to use Groq and OpenAI as the 'assistant' somehow. Logging in and clicking the 'Profile' button on the top right flashes a new page that promptly collapses.

It looks like this is a Chrome extension? If so, it is only browser based and that isn't mentioned anywhere on the site until I presume you hand over your USD4.50 for one month payment.

To me this seems borderline dishonest by omitting it is browser - and Chrome at that - based only. If there was a free way to try it, I'd know more but I'm not paying money to be disappointed. Buyer beware, I guess.

Thanks for the feedback! You are right, I should have made it clearer that it is a Chrome extension. will change that as soon as I can. I am also not sure what made it not function correctly, I'll take a look and figure that out

I was also considering offering a 7-day money-back guarantee. Would that be enough to convince you to try it?

The fact it's only a Chrome extention is a hard no because I don't use Chrome.

Cool! A while ago I had a similar idea, and I built a desktop app, Grammarsen.
