@whoisrade Congrats on the launch of pointer ai! It is exactly what Google Docs needed! The AI intern idea is brilliant. Any plans to bring this to other tools like sheets or slides?
@tonyabracadabra thanks Tony! 🙏 Yes, I’m already working on supporting the rest of the Google Workspace apps. Let me know if you have any other suggestions 🤗
@whoisrade Sounds cool! How does Pointer AI ensure that the suggestions align with a user's unique writing style?
@victoria_wu Thanks Victoria! Pointer is like an intern for editing your documents, it mimick the writing style of the document it is editing.
@sentry_co Hey André, I haven't built that in. Not sure if people would pay for an extension that asks for their own API key, but I may be mistaken... What would be the reasoning for this?
@nikdotca Hey Nik, thanks for reaching out! We're fully protecting our users' privacy, check out our terms of service and privacy policy - no users' data is being stored whatsoever, except for user's email address for logging in. The OpenAI is used through a company account with Tier 5 API access, where the agreement guarantees that they are also not storing any data.
@whoisrade You would not earn any money. But you would get a lot of powerful early adopters that would bring in "novice users" that would pay.
@sentry_co I'm fortunate to have a group of incredible early adopters who are eager to invest in a product that genuinely benefits them. From my nearly 20 years of experience in software development, I've learned that monetary transactions are essential to validate the market demand for a product.
Congrats on the launch, @whoisrade @djordjevic_nikola !
Love the idea - especially because it gives chagnes as suggestions rather than just overwrite the content.
Quick question - how does it handle different voice accents? Do you rely on the native voice recognition?
@djordjevic_nikola @ashitvora Yes, we felt it is crucial to not overwrite the content, but rather provide changes as suggestions with descriptive reasons for each suggestion, so a user can approve or reject each change.
Yes, it relies fully on the native voice recognition from within the document it is editing.
Just gotta say the scroll effect on the landing page initial viewport is brilliant! Congrats on the launch, and I look forward to giving the tool a try. Congrats on the launch! 🚀
@ohansemmanuel Thanks Ohans :D Webflow makes it easy to build these scroll animations. Wait until you see the animations when the AI agent is making changes to your Google Docs! :D
@whoisrade congrats on the launch! Looks cool, nice it explains every step. Good job :)
@lyudmila_popova Thank you so much! 😊 We’re glad you like it and appreciate your kind words. Your support means a lot to us! 🙌
Wow Rade! It looks super cool. It truly resonates on me cause I constantly deal with copy-pasting and I'm sure it will change that game. Happy to see you helping on that!
This is brilliant! And neat. I really liked how it adds suggestions and doesn't make the changes right away. It's almost like working with a thoughtful editor.
Thanks for working on this @whoisrade. I hope it gets all the attention it deserves.
@tanoy27 Thank you Tanoy, I really appreciate it! That was exactly what I was going for, I'm happy it feels in the product :)
@olya_zabalkanska It sure can Olya, there's a limited free trial account, so please try it out and let me know if you have any ideas how to make it even more effective :)
Copy pasting between Google Docs and ChatGPT is really annoying and I hate to deal with the formatting issues, especially when copying longer texts that are mostly research which only need light editing.
@tfriehe_ Yes, that is exactly the frustration I had as well! Let me know if Pointer solves that problem for you :)
I just started using it, Awesome Copilot, that I should recommend everyone in my circle.
Seems very useful for my daily workflow. Congrats on the launch, Nikola and the team!!
Awesome product! Saves me a lot of time editing google docs. Does it also support google sheet, slides, etc?
@renchu_song Thanks Richard! I'm working on supporting the full suite of Google WOrkspace products starting with Google Sheets and Google Slides, but currently only Google Docs is supported. We'll do a launch of these new features here on PH as soon as they're live!
I recommend Pointer because it's a great AI advisor for Google Docs. It helps to instantly enhance the text with smart editing suggestions in real-time. No more copying and pasting text from ChatGPT
@varrr_al thank you so much! 🙌 We're thrilled that Pointer is making your Google Docs experience smoother and more efficient. Your support means a lot to us! 😊
@ioannis_tsiokos Thanks for your comment Ioannis! In what way would you like to customize Pointer?
Very nice, congrats on the launch @whoisrade
Do you have any plans on implementing a Pay as you go model for billing?
I wonder if that could be something that would make users more willing to try it out
@sudoferraz Thanks Gabriel! We do have a pay as you go model for buying additional fast requests as add-ons after the generations quota have been exhausted. 😊
Pretty Nice, @whoisrade! I've been after similar functionality for one particular future aspect of our product, would love to chat and see if we can find a way to collaborate. Really well designed interaction!
@jalcantara Thanks Jorge! I put an emphasis on UX to be as seamless of an experience as possible, and to blend in the simplicity of the Google Docs native interface.
