AI Analysis

●●SolidSolve My ProblemCozy

AI critique that points at your words instead of rewriting them for you.

Strengths

•Strict constraint preventing AI from rewriting text preserves the user's unique voice.
•Margin comment UI mimics traditional manuscript editing workflows effectively.
•Bring-your-own-key model avoids vendor lock-in and recurring subscription costs.

Weaknesses

•Relies entirely on the quality of the underlying model's critique capabilities.
•No integration with popular writing platforms like Notion or Google Docs.

Post Description

I've been wondering how I could use LLMs to help me write, without taking my own voice away. I arrived at a workflow where the AI has strict instructions not to give me any text, just to give me tips, but it was clunky to see which parts of the text the critique referred to.

To solve it, I made Lucid. I made it mostly for myself, but I added a "bring your own key" system for others to use it. I hope you like it!
