Clever Messages

Why

As a non-native English speaker, I sometimes struggle to find the right words to write a message. I wanted to explore this problem space and see if I clarify the problem and come up with a solution.

How

• Before ChatGPT was released, I was using GPT-3 in the OpenAI Playground to generate messages.
• Message generation can be done from a web app that gathers context from the user and generates the message using an LLM.

What

• A landing page was created for generating messages using GPT-3 and to collect feedback from users.

Challenges

• UI design is not my strong suit and I struggled to create a good landing page, and I ended up letting go of the idea of creating a "good" landing page and just focused on creating a landing page that works.
• I couldn't find the right channels to promote the landing page and get feedback from users. Therefore I got very little feedback from promoting the landing page on these generic channels:
  • I posted two posts on Reddit, one on r/SideProject and another one on r/IMadeThis
  • I posted on other channels I found in this GitHub repo which was referenced in this Reddit post.
• After a few days, I concluded that I can't find the target audience for this problem in the channels and I have to find better channels.
