Show HN: Oasis AI – Craft Emails, Essays and Notes, Just by Talking

103 pointsby yousifaabout 2 years ago
I’m Yousif, founder&#x2F;CTO of OASIS AI, a new iOS app to elevate your communication skills.<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;apps.apple.com&#x2F;us&#x2F;app&#x2F;oasis-ai&#x2F;id1668222944<p>OASIS AI transforms natural speech into polished writing—college essays, business emails, social media posts, journals, and more. Everything is instant, automatic and efficient. and efficiency. It’s very simple.<p>Let’s face it: humans communicate constantly, but we suck at it.<p>We want to use LLMs to go beyond Grammarly&#x27;s error correction and Google Translate&#x27;s word-for-word translation. Instead, OASIS refines your thoughts and intentions, choosing the perfect words to express your ideas in any format or language. The app gives you a first draft, a starting place, and then you’re in control from there.<p>OASIS started off as English–to-English, and we are now in the process of rolling out language translation and speech transcription for over 30 languages, including Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, and Arabic. As a preview, the app enables English speakers to craft WeChat posts that mimic the casual writing of a native Mandarin Chinese speaker.<p>What do you think? What features should we add? How can we be better?<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;theoasis.com&#x2F;

Been using this for the past few weeks. I find the ability to speak in a free-form way quite liberating.<p>I feel like it opens up a new, more creative mode of thinking, different to internal monologue or writing. The LLM based summarisation leaves me with the core arguments + conclusions from the lengthy monologue &amp; enables me to repeat myself or pause for lengthy periods to think.

I&#x27;ve been watching this application grow since its early stages, and not only is it a useful, practical, and an &quot;ahead of its time&quot; tool, but the team putting it together is top notch. Motivated to make a difference, Oasis is the next big thing to watch.

There is no explanation for what &quot;a credit&quot; gets you? i.e. how are people supposed to know, when they are prompted to pay after the first 10 minute test, how credits are to be interpreted? I.e. is a credit 1 minute? is it 10 minutes?<p>This should be described on your app home page, or at the very least in your terms of service. I cannot find it anywhere.<p>Also, the content user license is unsettling - giving you irrevocable rights to the user&#x27;s content throughout the world into perpetuity (including the right to transfer).<p>I would recommend that if your audience is entrepreneurs &#x2F; experts &#x2F; thought leaders &#x2F; content creators, that you balance this language with some thought for the user&#x27;s desire to protect their IP.

I&#x27;ve been beta testing the app and my favorite use for it so far is using it to capture my thoughts about the day when driving in to work. I really appreciate having &quot;better than OS quality&quot; transcription. (Disclaimer: I invested in the company.)<p>I wish I could record longer than 10min or if there were at least a chime to indicate the recording is ending &#x2F; has ended. I also hope to get more of a TODO list I could then further organize. But what&#x27;s there is pretty neat and already useful to me.

Love the app and use it as a thought log all the time! It would be great if I didn&#x27;t have to select the output type upfront but rather just free-flow dictate. I don&#x27;t always know if something will turn into a blog post or small tweet at the time I am dictating.<p>If you could summarize the content into a few words (similar to how ChatGPT names its chat thread), and I could generate a specific output type from that list in the history, that would be a game changer for me!

Been using it since alpha stage. Love the way I can ramble and it turns it into coherent paragraphs that I can edit for my recap of meetings or to prepare drafts of emails :)

This is very neat and I’m keen to see if I can make use of it!<p>One note, I downloaded and dove right in with some nonsense and used up 17 of my trial tokens, unknowingly. It definitely made me understand how the app works but it was a surprise, and an expensive way to learn! Not trying to get them back but just a thought that there may be a friendlier way to introduce folks to the experience.

Love the app, not sure why wechat shows up as the first post type for me. The summary one would probably make the most sense as it allows me to know that I&#x27;ve been understood in the most concise form.

Just tried it. I spoke and it turned what I said into a letter, a TikTok script, a song, etc.<p>I can see how it&#x27;d be helpful for times when I know what I want to say but not how to say it.<p>Just ramble and it turns it into polished writing.

Would be nice to confirm the transcription before it submits, or a way to start the recording over. My accent trips it up

Oasis is a game changer. Forget prompts, planning, and creating 10 versions of something. Just download, turn it on, and talk. The first AI app I&#x27;ve used that effortly fits right in with how I work and think. Total game changer.

Hi. I basically bought an Apple Watch for one app, Just Press Record. I&#x27;d love to see that kind of functionality added to your app, so I can always record my random thoughts, and it ends up summarized on my computer.
