AI Co-Writer, One Tab Away

Ready to turn this AI writing wingman into a real product?
NTE Zero to One can help you go from idea to launch fast.

The One Liner

Your AI co-writer, always one tab away.

The 140 character tweet (or X) version

Writing? This AI tool lives in your browser and helps you summarize, expand, hook, and outline without switching tabs.

The Longer Story Version

The Problem

Most writing tools are like separate rooms.
You’re in Google Docs. Then ChatGPT. Then Notion. Then back to Docs.

You’re chasing your own ideas across 6 tabs and 2 apps.
Meanwhile, the thought is gone.

Here’s the thing: Writers don’t need more tools.
They need one invisible sidekick in the flow of where they already write.
Right-click → Boom. That’s the vibe.

You shouldn’t need to alt-tab into inspiration.

The Solution

A Chrome extension that sits quietly next to your cursor but works like a full writing team on demand.

Here’s what it can do:

• Summarize long reads into smart notes

• Clarify messy drafts into clean, structured sentences

• Expand half-formed thoughts into full paragraphs

• Outline essays, blog posts, and newsletters instantly

• Generate punchy titles, hooks, and conclusions

And all of it happens inline, right-click and go.
No jumping to another tool. No copy-paste gymnastics.

Just highlight → hit “Help me write” → move on with your day.

Perfect for: writers, students, creators, and anyone typing for a living.

How We’d Build It

Phase 1 – Chrome Extension MVP

• Use GPT-4o or Claude 3 Sonnet for fast, low-latency generation

• Build on top of Manifest V3 for modern extension performance

• UI: lightweight, context-aware pop-up (like Grammarly but way smarter)

• Host prompts on Supabase for real-time updates without pushing new code

• Monetization: freemium model — 10 tasks/month free, $10/mo for unlimited

Phase 2 – Context-Aware Pro Mode

• Add local storage caching to recall your past writing style

• “Smart Templates” for blog posts, essays, Twitter threads, etc.

• GPT fine-tuning layer for tone-matching (e.g. “write like Paul Graham”)

• Integrations: Google Docs, Notion, Medium, WordPress

• GTM via Product Hunt, Reddit (r/writing), and YouTube creator partnerships

Phase 3 – Writing Operating System

• Auto-build a “Second Brain” with every edit, note, and outline stored

• Heatmaps of edits: show what the AI fixed/added most often

• AI writing coach: gives feedback based on patterns in your drafts

• Native mobile keyboard: bring your writing assistant to SMS & mobile notes

Why It Needs to Exist

Because switching tools kills your best thoughts.

Great writing happens in flow. This keeps you there.
It’s like giving every writer from 5th graders to Substack pros their own invisible writing room.

Not another AI tool.
This is the one that stays out of the way… until you need it.

Angry Copywriter Reacts:

Live Breakdown of the AI That’s Coming for My Job

— in the tone of someone both offended and impressed

🎥 [Camera On. Writer adjusts hoodie. Sighs. Sips iced coffee from a chipped mug.]
“Alright. Let’s see what this little Chrome goblin can do.”

I click the extension. It loads up with this smug little button:
‘Need help with this sentence?’

Oh, do I?
Let’s feed it a classic copywriting prompt:
“Write a blog post intro about burnout.”

Boom. 2 seconds later:

“You don’t hate your job. You’re just running on fumes and no one ever taught you how to refill.”

…

OK.
That’s annoyingly good.
Feels like it stole that from a newsletter I wrote in 2021.

Let’s try another.
Hook for a new productivity app.

“Your to-do list is tired of your lies. Let’s fix that.”

Excuse me?
Did it just roast me?
This AI has better comedic timing than half the freelancers on Upwork.

At this point, I’m sweating.
This is legitimately what I get paid to do.
And this tool did it faster than I could finish one thought and delete it out of insecurity.

Now it’s offering to “clarify” my paragraph.
I paste in a chunky sentence from a client doc.
I’m talking full MBA-word-salad vibes.

It trims it, smooths it out, and adds a better CTA.
No exaggeration, I’ve seen agencies charge $10K/month for worse work.

I say this as someone with 47 Google Docs titled “copy draft v3 FINAL_final”:
This thing is good. Too good.

📉 Here’s the part where my ego starts spiraling:

• Is this how travel agents felt when Expedia showed up?

• Am I about to become one of those “I write things AI can’t understand” guys on LinkedIn?

• Do I… pivot to being a prompt engineer?

📈 Here’s the part where my brain kicks in:

This isn’t replacing writers.
It’s replacing bad writing habits.

The overthinking.
The blank-page stares.
The “I’ll just rewrite this 19 more times to feel productive” routine.

This Chrome extension?
It’s not my enemy.
It’s my intern.
My co-pilot.
My idea whisperer.

And yeah, I’m still salty.
But I’m also faster now.
Sharper. More dangerous.
Like if Hemingway had autocomplete.

Verdict:
If you write for a living, this is the tool that keeps you in flow.
No tab-switching. No context loss.
Just highlight → boom → move on.

It won’t replace your voice.
But it might finally shut up your inner critic.

So yeah…
I still hate it.
Because it works.

Pitch or Parody? You Decide

Some startup ideas sound like a joke.
Until they’re not.
Until someone builds it.
Until there’s a waitlist.
Until it’s suddenly worth $100M.

These 3 ideas?
You tell us which are genius… and which are unhinged.

#1 – The AI Therapist Who Screams at You
Sounds fake. Isn’t.
It’s CBT meets drill sergeant.
For people who don’t need support — they need consequences.
Top review:

“I cried. But like… productively.”

NTE Pro idea #1489. Yes, really.

#2 – A Chrome Extension That Tells Parents What Their Teen’s AI Friend Is Actually Saying

Teens are trauma-dumping on bots like Replika.
This tool translates what the AI is really doing behind the scenes.
Emotional gaslighting? Data harvesting? Blind validation?
Now parents can see it and act before it’s too late.

Weirdly powerful.
Deeply needed.
Mildly terrifying.

NTE Pro idea #1732.

#3 – The “Buy This Baby a Brand” Marketplace
Naming babies is already a business in Korea.
This takes it global and adds branding.
Fonts, domain names, aesthetic starter packs.
Yes, someone is going to name their kid “Zayvn” with a .xyz to match.

NTE Pro idea #1806. (We’ll be mad if you don’t build this.)

👉 NTE Pro has 4,500+ startup ideas like this.
Some will flop.
Some will get built.
And some? You’ll wish you saw them earlier.

It’s the best feed of weird, untapped startup ideas on the internet.
$99/year. No gatekeeping. Just bangers.

Join NTE Pro → Build the thing no one’s brave enough to try.
