    Thanks a ton for the video and feedback! The whole team enjoyed watching it! You pointed out some important issues, and we will fix them! Regarding the replacement: if built-in apps do the same thing, we will look for ways to stand out. We actually have some ideas already, but we're not revealing them yet :)

    You know, it’s like going to the cinema instead of watching a film on your laptop. There’s a reason we still go to cinemas :)) We just want to offer a better experience for writing notes, messages, social media posts, or journaling. Our app provides a lot of cool features for this: a convenient note format (not just a chat), an awesome UX (easily switch between different versions of text, as Dave showed in the video), the ability to record offline and with the screen off (again, as Dave showed), and ready-to-use rewrite options. It’s not just about asking "ChatGPT, structure my text." We’re actually testing, involving linguists and prompt engineers to make the text as good as AI can get it right now. We aim to preserve your thoughts and maintain your tone. So, just give it a try, there’s a free trial period, and we hope you’ll see the value! :)

    Someone asked this in the facebook group yesterday (facebook.com/groups/daveswift/posts/7910564285645214/). Here was my reply: I mean, obviously ChatGPT Plus can do darn near anything. Letterly is focused on a particular task. Like do you need a grill, if you can cook steak in the oven? If it's worth it to you, it's pretty reasonably priced ($59/once) for lifetime access, vs. $20/month for ChatGPT Plus. As I mention in the video, I'm personally leaning towards this being a feature built into iOS and MacOS, so I would probably not spend more than $59 on this product (e.g. I wouldn't buy 10 devices for my whole team).

    Thanks. Interesting. Hi developers, do you listen to the comments here? Those two limitations will probably prevent me from buying: 1) Not possible for desktop (And cell phone plus destkop (if it will be available somewhen) should be included in Tier1). 2) 15 minutes limitation. Thats not enough.

    Got it! Thank you so much for the feedback :) 1) We're working on the web version, coming soon. However, for the AppSumo deal (which we think is unprecedentedly cheap), you'll need to choose a tier based on devices. Tier 1 is suitable for those planning to use it on just one device. Sorry about that, but otherwise, it simply wasn't feasible for us! :( 2) We're targeting users who use apps for notes, social media posts, messages, and journaling, and from our user interactions, we know 15-min limit covers most needs. If you find yourself needing more than 15 minutes, you're probably interested in meetings. Unfortunately, we're not focusing on that segment right now because we want to offer the best experience possible! We may expand our focus in the future, but for now, to truly excel as an app, we're staying within these boundaries.

    Hey there! Honestly, Letterly might not be ideal for that because you have to record the whole video. There are services that let you just drop a video link and get a transcript. But if you're already watching the podcast anyway, adding Letterly alongside isn't too difficult! If that works for you, we're happy! :)

    By the way, Ive done a lot of testing "find duplicates" on two lists using AI and it's very unreliable. I've tested about 8 models and sometimes it "feels" like its working, because it can be "sort of right" but mostly it's not. Claude Opus was the best in my tests, but still sometimes way off and would agree with any correction I gave it, even if I was also completely wrong.
