They are based in Switzerland as I am, but it so happened we met in Doha IIRC they support 40 concurrent users, and in their model that would always be a school class, which I guess shouldn’t be larger anyway

Brilliant concept! I recently met the fine folks at Beekee who make something rather similar: https://beekee.ch/beekeebox/ It's an apparently simple problem on the surface, but quite hard to get it right... I once

In our battle against AI-written content, we launched UnitText as an alternative to use AI to review text, instead of writing it. I got the idea from this lovely book "Writing for Developers"[1] that recommended some quality promp

I love the approach: keep the creative, human part intact - and in fact free up time for it, by letting AI take care of the menial tasks. And to all naysayers, yes, research is a menial task... if you think a True Writer[1] would always do

I don’t see the risk of hallucinations being very realistic: this can be used to find evidence, but I’m pretty sure a judge would want to see the real thing, not the AI summary of it. If anything I find the “false negatives” more interestin

I'd love to have this, too! There are a couple of things I'd like to do next: - make it into a public API - so that it's easier to create plugins; - provide multiple "blueprints" for different types of text (in this

Watch mode is definitely coming! Right now I was just testing locally and the performance of the model is just not there to get feedback that fast, but the idea of automated tests is of course that they should be as fast as possible.

Damn... I think you're being hit by some bug in the fancy fade-in animation. It's supposed to trigger on scroll. I don't really like it, but apparently it's what cool kids do these days ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and it came with th

Well of course as any technical choice this is a compromise These are all very valid points, that we did consider, but I think the alternatives were just not as good. I feel less strongly about apps not looking like system apps; in fact, I
