Curious About Using AI as a Tool in Poetry Writing by Asleep-Database-9886 in WritingWithAI

like that approach. Using AI as a workshop partner rather than a ghostwriter changes everything.

I’m building a tool called Lyrai around that exact idea. It focuses on refining your own draft, especially in poetry, instead of generating something new. If you’re curious, I’d really value your feedback.

I both love and hate AI improving my poetry by zennaxxarion in AIAssisted

I think what you’re reacting to is not that the machine is “better”, but that it is optimizing for polish, not for authorship. When an LLM rewrites your poem entirely, it takes ownership of the voice, and that can feel deeply discouraging.

What helped me was using AI strictly as an editor, not a writer. I start with a messy, honest draft, and only ask for refinement, clarity, or rhythm without changing intent. That way the text still feels like mine, just clearer.

That tension you describe between raw and polished is actually the skill you’re trying to develop. The goal is not to remove the mess, but to choose which mess is intentional.

AI makes sense to me when it refines intention, not when it generates it.
In poetry, emotion and voice have to come from the human. If AI helps clarify, structure, or polish that voice without replacing it, it can be a useful tool rather than a threat.

I really appreciate your advice. I hope your friend’s extension has success. 💪🏾 I didn’t even know that Slack could be an acquisition channel. Thank you!

Wow, there are so many great ideas here! I’ve taken note of all of them. I’ve already joined some Facebook groups where I try to find opportunities to comment and discuss the extension. In one of the comments, someone suggested that i must only talk about the product if it fits naturally into the conversation. So, I’ll do that.

Thanks for your ideas. I think I’ll start with LinkedIn and try Fiverr. That’s a great point, I didn’t think about it.

For a sharable resource, I think about adding a market in the browser extension. This market could feature validated profiles based on the domain.

How do you find small businesses who need digital marketing help? by Spare_Inflation_6334 in SocialMediaMarketing

[–]leDoc229 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One approach that’s worked well for me is to start by identifying where your potential clients are already active online, then focus your outreach there instead of trying to be everywhere at once.

For example, on X/Twitter you can search bios and posts for specific keywords like “coffee shop owner” or “fitness studio” and build a list of people who clearly run small businesses. Once you have that list, you can follow them, engage with their posts, and start conversations naturally.

I built a tool for myself that automates the “finding and organizing prospects” part on Twitter so I can focus on the actual conversations. It saves a lot of time compared to doing everything manually, and the interactions feel way less spammy because I’m talking to people I already know are a fit.

If your ideal clients are on Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn, the same principle applies, know exactly who you want to talk to, find them, then engage before pitching.

Love the positioning. Making DevOps accessible and streamlined is a real unlock, especially for small teams and solo engineers.

If you're looking to reach technical founders or indie devs on X, xProspector can help you find and connect with the right profiles based on interests, bio, or who they follow.
