TypeBoost

The Vision: Why TypeBoost Exists

TypeBoost is the universal interface for contextual writing. It solves the productivity-killing bottleneck of "context switching"—the constant need to copy text from a working document, paste it into an AI chat, and then copy the result back. By living at the system level, it allows users to stay in their flow. Here are specific personas who benefit most:

• Freelancers: Who need to polish client communications and deliverables across multiple platforms like Slack, Email, and Notion.
• Founders & Indie Hackers: Who require rapid drafting of marketing copy and technical documentation without leaving their development environment.
• Content Marketers: Who use custom-tailored prompts to maintain brand voice across various social media and CMS tools.

The Engine: How the "Secret Sauce" Works

AI Technology: Generative (Large Language Model integration).

Input-Output Loop: The user selects text in any application and triggers a global shortcut (Control + Space). They then select a saved prompt, and the AI replaces or appends the refined text directly into the active text field.

Innovation highlights:

• System-Wide Integration: Unlike browser extensions, it works in native desktop apps, including IDEs, email clients, and messaging tools.
• Custom Prompt Library: Users can save and categorize their own "recipes" for specific tasks like "Summarize," "Fix Grammar," or "Change Tone to Professional."
• Voice-to-Text Shortcut: Includes a "brain-to-text" feature that allows users to dictate thoughts directly into refined prose.

The Toolkit: Capabilities & Connectivity

Flagship Features:

• One-Shortcut Execution: Focuses on a frictionless user experience where AI is only a keystroke away, reducing the time-to-output to seconds.
• Interactive Live Demo: A web-based sandbox that allows potential users to experience the "Select-Shortcut-Apply" flow before downloading.

Integrations: Works inside any macOS or iOS application, including Slack, Notion, Gmail, Apple Mail, and Microsoft Word.
