Once people figure out how to have their own ideas and writings get furthered in collaboration by Lex there’ll be no other way to write.
so i've been testing @lexdotpage by pasting in random brain dumps from my notes and then asking lex to elaborate on them and i'm kinda blown away. plain text is my writing, italic+underline is what lex added

Lex’s servers are a bit overwhelmed and slow at the moment! . Rest assured, I am fixing it quickly by throwing money (servers) at the problem, and then will do something more efficient later this week!.

The new 3.5 Sonnet is now live (and the new default) for Pro users in Lex.
Introducing an upgraded Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and a new model, Claude 3.5 Haiku. We’re also introducing a new capability in beta: computer use. Developers can now direct Claude to use computers the way people do—by looking at a screen, moving a cursor, clicking, and typing text.

Quick update! . When we sent the email to our users, a LOT of folks came to the site all at once, and our database ran out of memory, causing some requests to fail. We are upgrading our db ASAP, but in the meantime the site is working better now and should continue to improve.

We’re putting together the various ways people are using Lex—comment below eith how you’re using it and we try to include you in our post 👇🏼.
@nbashaw @every @lexdotpage this is an amazing, very helpful use case. thanks for sharing. i'd be into seeing more of these experiments/ways of working with lex that you've been playing with - are you writing about them somewhere?. if not maybe a thread collecting all of them?.

Ever since I saw @hnshah mention @lexdotpage , I've been testing it out. It's 100% a better word processor/writing tool than Google Docs. The way AI is integrated is done pretty well, and it feels lighter weight, but equally as powerful. Feels faster.

New essay by me:. “Why don’t more writers use AI?”. Cursor just raised a 9-figure series B and every programmer I know uses AI all day. Writers, meanwhile, are still at the bottom of the S-curve. But why?. (Continued…).

Nice process!.
My writing process these days:. 1. Outline (brain to hand to notebook; thanks, but no thanks, AI, and damn you!). 2. Write the first draft. 3. Copy-paste in @lexdotpage (Oh, hello AI, you're not all bad). 4. Get Lex to copyedit. 5. Revise revise revise. 6. Copy-paste finished.

Lot of variety here but we’re especially excited about the people who’ve incorporated Lex into their process because it helps inspire them and makes writing easier!. Working on a few new features to keep growing that number! 😉.
What is your primary writing tool, and why?.

This is a perfect encapsulation of what we want Lex to do for writers. As writers ourselves, we often get stuck thinking through our ideas or on how to express them, but with Lex collaborating with us in the word processor our flow doesn't stop and we just keep writing.
@startupyworld 2. Lex (to find new ideas). This AI tool has only been released for a week, but already helped me write 4 new essays. More than simply writing for me, @lexdotpage does a surprisingly good job at developing new approaches and challenging my original ideas.

This is the correct way to think about AI and Lex. How will you use Lex to solve your problems?.
When the calculator was invented, some mathematicians were put out of jobs. But the best mathematicians used the calculator to solve problems faster. Same will happen with AI tools.

Oh, also, we’re going from zero in-memory cache to 8gb! . So the app should feel noticeably snappier 🏃♂️💨.

I have been using @lexdotpage for a few months now. At first I didn't think it was any better than Google Docs for me, but after a number of key features dropped. It is now my favorite word processor for drafting and editing! And the underlying LLMs have gotten better!.

“useful magic tools to help you think” 🥰.
been seeing more calm-tech-vibes ai apps emerging that feel like useful magic tools to help you think. e.g. @LightpageAI for journaling and self-reflection, @lexdotpage for writing. Does anyone know more of these? is there a list somewhere? a subreddit?.

Reading about people getting unstuck is the best feeling.
@NDominator @lexdotpage @nbashaw It got me unstuck and kept me moving in places where I couldn’t quite articulate or crystalize what I was thinking. It was impressively spot on to the narrative I was building and I was able to use what it gave me to reframe and make forward progress. Cool stuff!.

AI is obviously essential for coding in a way that it's not for writing (yet). This year @lexdotpage is launching two things that I think could have the potential to change that. This is the first. It's a tiny start, but tbh kinda thrilling to work on 🙏

Ok we’re offline!. All the data is now being safely copied over to a new database that is much better:. - from 10g to 256g storage .- from 20 to 400 concurrent connections .- full disk encryption . It should be done in ~20 mins.

can see this happening for writing—soon 😉.
it cannot be overstated how the nature of programming has changed over the past few months. it feels weird and unnatural to write code without the AI, like crawling around after learning to use a bike.

We love to see people using Lex in other languages. We’ve seen Spanish, Portuguese, now French… any others?.

We’re just out here building 😤.
@Reza_Kabiri_ @lexdotpage It helps me work hard and stay focused! I think the most important thing is to not get too distracted by the hype and new developments, and to stay focused on customers.
