Boost Editor uses AI to analyze your writing for the five base emotions: joy, sadness, anger, anxiety and disgust. After you know what emotions your writing elicits naturally, the Boost Editor will suggest word changes to optimize your writing to elicit the emotion of your choice.

Hello Product Hunt! Thanks for hunting us, Sujan! Two years ago, we were writing a daily email for students. The articles we wrote were designed to hit the right emotions. We’d spend hours sitting there, trying to choose the right words to make sure that it would. One night, we decided there was an easier way - use AI to tell us which words are better.

So, we built the Boost Editor - as the intellectual Iron Man suit for writers -

A tool to augment your already incredible writing ability - to make you faster, stronger, and more impactful. Here’s how it works - Copy and paste your text (less than 400 words) out of whatever writing tool you use - Analyze your text to see what emotions your writing is eliciting - Pick your target emotion (don’t know what emotion does what? We got you covered) - The Editor will highlight words that have synonyms to increase your target emotion’s rating - Review the suggestions - The Editor will never change anything without your say-so. - Words with a (+) sign will increase your target emotion, words with a (-) will decrease. - Re-analyze to see the impact of the word changes on your target emotion - One-click copy that masterpiece out of the editor and send it on it’s way. One more thing - since we built this for everyone we designed a pricing model that everyone can afford. Instead of a subscription model, the Boost Editor uses a utility model - you only pay for what you use. You can Boost a piece of content for just $1.50. For a limited time, we're offering extended free access to the Editor - just sign up today and the free credits will be waiting for you.

We can’t wait for you to try it out and look forward to hearing what you think!

Have you built your own text analysis system or are you using a third party provider like Google, Amazon, IBM, etc?

@erionv We are using one of the big three for the analysis. The suggestions are provided by us. Hope that helps!

I like the idea, but the price is a little too steep for people who do lots of writing. Why do these type of apps cost so much? Grammarly is also very expensive.

Hey @erickbarron86 - we tried to design the pricing model such that our success is tied to that of our users - that the more content you're creating, the more successful you are. If you do find that you're creating more content than the pricing model allows, we are working on a subscription model for users that spend $100 or more per month. Thanks for letting us know !

Interesting tool, I'm certainly going to try it out. But. First, how do I know that the 20 free credits were indeed activated? There is absolutely no info on that in my dashboard whatsoever (already registered and confirmed the registration). And secondly, what are the payment options? There is no info on that either. Do you accept, say, PayPal?

@o_annenko Olga, thank you for the kind words. To your first question- on the account page you'll start with 20 credits remaining. To learn more about pricing you can click "learn more" or "pricing info" on the homepage, in the app, or on the profile page. If you are using Safari as your browser, there may be a few styling issues preventing you from seeing the "pricing info" button in the app. We currently accept all major credits card, but we will work on PayPal for sure. Thank you kindly for the feedback, I hope this helps!

What're the details behind your 'suggestions' engine? How are you analyzing and returning results and what is it measuring? I don't expect you to give the secret behind your engine, but calling a product "AI" and claiming it does something pretty amazing has become so normal now. But there's never any information behind the AI.

@flowsion Fantastic question. I completely agree that everyone is using the term AI loosely. I'll start off by saying the Boost Editor is much more NLP than AI, though they go hand-in-hand. Here is our stand point on the use of AI. We say AI because our analysis engine is a machine reading your text much like a human would and it offers suggested changes like a human editor would. For the analysis, the engine is displaying an understanding of your writing in relation to emotion. Then it is relaying the relation in the form of a percentage. The higher the %, the more likely the audience will perceive your writing as that emotion. This is all coming from a human annotated corpus which the engine was trained on. As for the suggested changes, we manually create hundreds of lexicons for the English language in relation to the 5 base human emotions. This way the machine knows which words are best for your target emotion in each sentence. I hope this helps!

Hey guys - I see that you're using one of the big three to do the analysis. May I suggest using Textbox instead? Your costs will be SIGNIFICANTLY reduced as our machine learning models are downloadable, infinitely scalable Docker containers with a flat rate (instead of an external API call). Check out https://blog.machinebox.io/intro... and PM me if you think this will help!

First off, it's neat but the price is pretty steep (I assume you will keep the free credits otherwise people can't verify what you offer). Could you offer a large piece of text and show the analysis of what this can do to improve it, because right now all I can see it doing is switching words and not restructuring sentences or simply removing unnecessary text which I would find useful. On the topic of engagement and presentation (which I mainly do and is important when starting off - also when your business model is helping others engage and have good presentation) - in the video you may have got the words right but the narrator sounded **very** bored, and your website design is lacking and not something I would put money into (there is weird spacing, you have a light coloured logo on a white background, you have 3 columns for 4 pieces of text (well, 5 but the last one is "boost editor" alone) then in the next section you have missed out making "pricing" as a header. Also you don't have a favicon, so it looks like you just used bootstrap to make it in 10 minutes.

@koya_io We appreciate the comment. Please understand this is our first launch and we've put a lot of effort into the backend functionally of the editor, rather than the website. As a bootstrapped student startup we have made design sacrifices but we hope to build out a stunning experience piece by piece. Our next backend iteration will be contextually accurate changes and a speed increase. With contextually accurate changes we'll be able to help users restructure sentences will ease. Also, the changes offered will always make sense in the current structure of your sentence. As for the website critique, we appreciate it. These fixes take time to find. Thanks to you, we'll be able to point em' out much and make the changes, much faster. We would love to continue the conversation going surrounding any feedback you have! Team@boost-ling.com

@boost @jefnwk Can definitely appreciate all of this - it probably isn't a product that is aimed at me anyway (so I can send redesign suggestions with code? :P)

@boost @koya_io If you're willing to help us out in that way - WOAH - that would be awesome. We can definitely show you the next iteration of our home page we hope to release within the next 2 weeks. A little sneak peek and some solid critiques never hurt.
