@rick_yost @willmurphy Interesting product. My thoughts on B2B outbound sales for Cognifyd : a) Target recently funded SaaS companies. They will be spending money on sales and customer success. b) Target companies who are hiring for inside sales, email specialist, lead generation, customer success. If a company is hiring for these roles, it means they are growing in sales and would be happy to invest in a product like yours.

@rick_yost @shreyaa_ratra Thanks for the feedback! We'll do that. Also, this is our MVP. We have a lot more interesting features coming for business teams and corporations.

@rick_yost @shreyaa_ratra We feel the same way! :)

Thanks for the votes everyone! I love all the online proofreading apps. They are great for checking spelling and grammar. Very useful in school and in business. But, I've been working the business world for a while now and realized we needed to proofread for all the expertise that is in the brains of marketing, brand, legal, sales, etc. So, I thought - we should build the first AI-driven proofreader that checks the words, phrases, and patterns that make better business communication. That's Cognifyd.

Not sure if I understand the difference between this and Grammarly

@vladcalus This is clearly aimed at business people, salespeople, marketers. It warns you about using spam filter triggering words and jargon. You can see that in the screenshots 😛
Alexander Smekhov
@vladcalus @anna_0x Do you provide synonims to change such words?
Will Murphy
@vladcalus Great question. What Anna said is correct. Grammarly proofreads your grammar and spelling. Cognifyd proofreads for weak words, business jargon, spam words, etc. And also - checks structure based on what a good sales (or marketing, support, or general business) email looks like.

@vladcalus @anna_0x @bitrewards Not yet! Working on it. Great suggestion.

Knowing the background of the founder, for sure it's going to be a great project and a great solution. I am not native, so my English is not good enough, and for sure Cognifyd helps me a lot

Pros:

Not being English my mother tongue, Cognifyd is a great tool to improve my writing

Cons:

initially looks good
