eibrahim commented on Ask HN: How would you monetize an AI book-writing app?    · Posted by u/eibrahim

Uh, irrelevant to highlight sqlite and "local first" if it assumes talking to gemini. The data does not stay on the machine. Support llama.cpp, etc.

I do like the idea of a home made book workflow but no one needs a new bookstore. There are plenty of these.

I think a related area is incorporating tts for interviews esp of older family members. Support photos and audio and have some ai magic around those. Produce a family member history. That is a pdf or richer media artifact, and does not go into any bookstore. Absolutely needs local ai in that case too.

I would pay $50 for an oss fully local authoring tool (and I do pay for others like zettlr).

I tried llama a few months back and the output was very disappointing. I don't think it will handle book writing well or produce good quality.

what do you mean tts for interviews? You mean use AI to interview grandpa and get his story and then use that to create "his story"?

I am working on way too many things to add here but one of them is https://www.familygpt.chat - ChatGPT for kids with parental control. I built it for my kids.

If there's a demand for it to become open-source, why not? But I'll have to improve code quality first. As the presence of french labels indicates it, i18n is not properly implemented for this project.

What I found most interesting are that:

* 39% report EBIT impact at the enterprise level

* 36% report that AI use has improved their profitability (vs just 2% who report a decrease)

I wonder how this fits with that MIT study about 95% of generative AI pilots failing.

There was a lot of criticism of the MIT study. Can’t recall what though :)

If you are a professional developer, it feels like Christmas every week. it’s exhausting and overwhelming but I am loving the excitement. I remember the browser wars days and switching between Netscape and IE and Firefox every week because of new releases. Fun times.
