@simonbs This should be a keyboard. I hate that there’s only scammy GPT-4 subscription apps that do exactly that. I’d love if there was a one time purchase + BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) solution to this

@jakob41 Funny idea to make it a keyboard! I haven’t build one of those in years so I’m unsure how it would work. Can keyboard extensions see the user’s selected text?

@jakob41 Interesting! 🧐

jakob41, 30 days ago

@simonbs I think they do some kind of trickery where they move the cursor over the entire text field when you switch to it to see the entire text. It’s just that the pricing of these apps is kinda off. Hell I’d pay 19.99 a year for Runestone but not for this

simonbs, 30 days ago

@jakob41 Haha, yeah, that’s a bit pricey. Seems like a clever workaround. I might give that a try.

jakob41, 30 days ago

@simonbs Well I actually found a section where you can specify a custom API key - that makes the app completely free to use

simonbs, 30 days ago

I really should release this app someday. I use it many times each day, especially after it got Shortcuts integration. I just can't be bothered to think about the pricing model 😑

Screen recording showing the Shortcuts action of my app being invoked from Ivory. The action corrects the text and displays an image with a diff of the original and the corrected text.

@simonbs @matthewcassinelli I would like to be in on the classified experience. ;-) I can also supply my own OpenAI API key.

maique, 30 days ago

@simonbs You should, yes 🙌🏼

samburkhard, 30 days ago

@simonbs could you make it a (low) one-time fee and have people bring their own API keys?

simonbs, 30 days ago

@samburkhard Theoretically, yes, but I’ve built a tiny backend so I can tweak the corrections without shipping an app update.

mcnahum, 21 days ago

@simonbs @samburkhard onetime purchase with API key and open source backend to run on docker or something like that…

yeltzland, 30 days ago

@simonbs Maybe iOS 18 will bring a usable on-device and built-in LLM that you could switch the app to use?🤞

simonbs, 30 days ago

@yeltzland I’d LOVE that! I’m ready to ship this thing right away then 😄

@simonbs I checked the API docs and it's not mentioned there yet. Just use GPT-4o as the model name?

simonbs, 30 days ago

@passim Yup! It’s documented here: https://platform.openai.com/docs/models/gpt-4o

@simonbs Interesting that the training data ends in October 2023 vs December for 4-turbo.

simonbs, 30 days ago

@passim Yeah, I don’t really get that either. I don’t think it matters for my use case though. I’m primarily concerned with speed and cost.
