Hi, Product Hunt! Type is an AI-first document editor that helps you write faster (and better). It's similar to NotionAI, but with a laser focus on a great authoring experience. Unlike a lot of other AI writing products, Type encourages the human to play a central role in the writing and editing process. We don't think great writing is a "one-shot" activity you can fully delegate to AI, we think it's something that a human should be deeply involved in! So we've built a familiar-looking document editor that puts the author front and center. It's infused with helpful AI commands that understand the context of your document. If you're writing landing page copy, for example, you can just hit cmd+k, select the "Generate content" command, and tell Type to write a call to action. You don't need to say anything more than "a call to action" – Type will pull the relevant context that's already in your document, take an educated guess at what you want, and insert it directly into your doc. It's a big time saver that helps you stay in flow. We'd love for you to try Type and let us know what you think. It's most useful for longer-form writing, so maybe try to write an announcement blog post for the project you're working on. Please, please reply with your honest feedback in the comments! Thanks :) Stew & Stefan (p.s. if you run out of free credits while trying it out today, just shoot me a DM on Twitter and we'll give you a one-time refill as part of the launch: https://twitter.com/stewfortier)

Good day everyone ! Congrats on the launch of Type on the Product Hunt! It looks simple and convenient, it all makes sense! Can I ask two questions? 1. What ideas are you going to implement in the future? 2. How did you come up with this idea?

@ilyayaroshevichqa thanks for the questions! 1. For now, we only reveal the roadmap to paid customers. If you end up signing up for a plan, please shoot me an email at stew @ type.ai 2. This idea kind of just appeared. I had been trying out other AI writing products and felt like nothing really fit my workflow, so I started to tinker with a more flexible approach to leveraging AI in a document.

Hello, Congratulations on your release. I am really excited to try this tool. However I have a technical question. Since you are using AI model and models usually have input size limit and you are using it for documents. So have you tried it on very large documents? how is it's performance on that?

@_salman we are subject to similar input limits as ChatGPT, so we do have to truncate the context we pull from longer documents. But many of our customers use Type for their longer-form writing. All of the commands still work in-line and they're usually able to generate useful content just based on the portion of the document that's closer to the cursor.

Users appreciate the "What to write next" feature and the chat function, which streamline the writing process. The tool's ability to generate content suggestions and facilitate easy editing is highlighted as a major advantage. Regular updates improve functionality, though some users suggest a freemium pricing model to attract more users. Overall, Type is valued for its efficiency and user-friendly experience.
