Hey, Gen!
Good luck with your stunning tool!
How did you come up with this project?
@alexanderptitsyn thank you for this question! A big part of my business as a hired bridesmaid was to write people's best man or maid of honor speeches. I wrote 50+ a year. I built this tool as a way to replicate my writing style and make it more accessible for people to have a professional and personalized speech - in minutes.
@jenglantz Congratulations, Jen and the Bridesmaid for Hire team, on the launch 🥂 It's an exciting and innovative way to help best men create memorable and personalized speeches without the stress of writer's block.
I'm curious, how did you train the AI to understand and assist in crafting best man speeches?
@tornike_tsiramua1, thank you so much! I worked with @nafetswirth and @fschlz + team who did this. I gave them access to a bunch of speeches that I had written and good examples. They used this data throughout their process.
@jenglantz @tornike_tsiramua1 We use one-shot prompting.
Speech example and the structure in the prompt.
We've looked at training a custom model but not worth it.
Brides Maid generator was great and fun, but Best Man generator on a whole new level 🚀
If I had to write my best best man speech, I'd definitely pass it through this. Are there settings to adjust for amount of whiskey consumed pre-speech?
@john_mctavish1 not a bad idea to include an alcohol yes/no toggle tbh 🤔 I'll test it in the next prompt update what difference it makes! 😄
@john_mctavish1 the tool will actually tell you if a joke is not funny or is inappropriate and it gives you suggestions instead. Now if only it could turn the mic off for you if you've had too much whiskey..
Funny enough that we got a claim and threat of court from speechy.com just for using their name.
And since recently they launched their Speechy AI tool that does exactly the same thing, I wish you guys good luck 😁🙌
@nafetswirth, we didn't use their exact name, although there were some common elements. Technically, it was different from a registered company name.
But to cut a long story short, they registered a trademark similar to our product right after our launch and approached us with legal action.
We negotiated an agreement on our terms and now we're known as spellar.ai 😁🤷♂️
@mattisssa let’s see. A bunch of those tools exist and we’ve been around longer with our sister tool of this for maid of honor speeches.
The name is literally a google search keyword lol.
@michael_heap Humble brag that you're a popular lad? 😏
Or friends with people that get divorced often 🥲
@michael_heap As you're rolling with the best Man united supporters, I think you just have a lot of friends but you're not that popular amongst them.
Always option 3 👁️👃👁️
@michael_heap, I feel you! You know how it feels to write one from scratch - and it's tough!
Congratulations on the launch people! 🙌🔥This sounds so super cool! 😎🔥
These new versions on AI just never stop amazing you! 😅😄
One question though, how does it personalize such an intimate moment with so many personal thoughts?? 🤔
All the best to you and your time!! 💜🎉
@mansi_trivedi1 MAGIC! + We feed it some example speeches that @jenglantz wrote which give it the right base tonality. That with the rest of the prompt makes it work out pretty well. Take it for a spin and tell us what you think!
@mansi_trivedi1 It's a chatbot that asks you questions about your relationship to the groom and writes a custom speech based on that.
Thanks for your support ❤️
hahah This sounds fun! Can i give some bullet points to guide speech in a specific direction? Like some past story or something like that... Congratulations guys
@leon_ostrez We ask you up to 10 questions and yeah you can edit the speech with your new thoughts and stories.
@leon_ostrez What @nafetswirth said + you also have styling options for how you want the speech to sound like & long it should be
Brilliant idea and I'm saying this as somebody unable to craft a speech. Good luck with the launch Stefan!
@_dgut Thanks David, may it come in handy at some point haha.
Ping me when it's time and I'll give you a free discount code. ✌️
AI Best Man Speech Writing Tool is a time-saver. How does it capture the couple's story and essence for the speech?
@iqra_naseem we created a chatbot that collects history and memories of the best man and the groom.
Jen, this is a brilliant tool for those struggling with crafting memorable best man speeches - I'm sure it'll bring a lot of smiles (and standing ovations) to wedding celebrations!
@sentry_co Do you mean in the chat?
The problem is that it's very expensive for us to let you go through the whole convo, like $0.50
A lot of people will not buy even if we show them a part of the speech for example, destroying all margins.
That's why we started with example speeches and at least letting you chat a bit.
Maybe we can A/B a full flow at some point, it might increase conversions just enough to make sense but it needs testing.
@sentry_co Here is an example speech: https://chat.bridesmaidforhire.c...
@nafetswirth That's interesting. Im curious to what kind of models cost $0.50 for some text? In any case. If you cant show half the result for instance. I would show some organic examples. This was the input, this was the output. Maybe you did show that somewhere. But I definitely missed in my excitement to test it out. Just think of the word of mouth effects for this if I had seen even half the result. Id be talking about it in the bar tonight with friends. have a Good Friday!
@sentry_co We use GPT-4, you have to pass in the whole conversation inputs and outputs every time the user sends a message. (That's also how ChatGPT works) so the longer the convo gets the more you pay for each message.
In total we ask you 10 questions.
We could summarize it between steps but that leads to loss of context.
That's another lever we have, bring the cost down to allow more usage upfront, also needs testing haha.
We want to go for the best possible speech (both UX and output) tho because there is a bunch of sh*tty free versions of this that work on a form submit -> speech model and are kinda meh. If we were the same we're just like everyone else.
Right now our OPEX for the prompting is ~10% of Revenue (including free users that don't convert)
Btw, I added you on Twitter I can DM you a discount code to use it for free if you like :)
@nafetswirth Thanks 🙏 Will check it out. Interesting! I did not know GPT4 API was that expensive. I assume it's another API than regular GPT4 api key I use with cursor.so etc.
Best man launches a product for other best men?
Instant upvote, I bet you understand why.
🎉 Crafting the perfect best man speech just got a whole lot easier with The Best Man Speech Writing Tool! It's great to see an AI tool designed to guide and personalize the speech-making process.
One question for the creators: Does the tool also provide tips on public speaking, like delivery and stage presence, to ensure the best possible performance? 🤝🎙️
@malkielfalcone thanks mate!
To your question, it doesn't do that, since it's very focussed on crafting the speech with you.
But in the future, an add-on would be possible where you record yourself holding the speech and AI gives you hints on how to do better. Other than that, @jenglantz can always help out if people want some coaching :)
@malkielfalcone - also when you use the tool you have access to our Speak With Confidence public speaking video course that helps you give a nerve-free performance.
Hey congrats on launching on product Hunt today! Interesting technology that you have here with Bridesmaid for hire, I could really use something like this to my next friend's wedding!
Hahaha, this is a funny find! I'm sure a lot of speech givers will breathe a sigh of relief - and be able to focus more on having fun leading up to the date, instead of spending time on script writing. Congrats on the launch, Jen!
@rockyperezz Exactly. A lot of our customers are last minute purchases haha.
@rockyperezz thank you so much! I agree, there's a lot to focus on. Let this tool take over the speech element of being someone's best man.
Congrats on the AI Best Man Speech Writing Tool! Can it help with speech delivery tips as well?
@irsa_doham You get access to @jenglantz’s course as well.
That will coach you on delivery :)
I'd follow this dream team to the space and come back. 🚀
Keep up the successes coming!
Impressed with the AI Best Man Speech Writing Tool! How does it ensure each speech feels unique and personal?
@iamwilliamdavid every speech is one of a kind based on the unique experiences and stories of the user
