I built an app because autocorrect kept ruining my texts in French

Hey everyone !

Quick story I'm French, and if you've ever typed in French on macOS or iOS, you know the pain. Autocorrect "fixes" words into things you never meant to say. I once sent "je suis excit " (which has a very different meaning in French than "I'm excited") to a client. That was the last straw.

So my co-founder and I built Exact a tiny AI-powered writing assistant that lives in your menu bar. You press Ctrl+Space in any app and it instantly fixes spelling, grammar and syntax. No copy-paste, no browser extension, no switching tabs. It just works wherever you type emails, Slack, iMessage, even code comments.

We're a team of 3, bootstrapped, and honestly still figuring out a lot. But the core product is solid and we use it ourselves every single day.

Unpopular opinion: your typos are costing you deals and nobody tells you

Nobody will ever tell you "I didn't reply because you wrote 'definately'."

They just won't reply.

I've been on both sides. As a founder sending cold outreach, and as someone receiving it. And I can tell you: a typo in a first message is like showing up to a meeting with your shirt inside out. Nobody says anything, but everyone noticed.

The problem isn't that spellcheckers don't exist. It's that they don't exist where you need them.

How do you handle text correction without breaking your workflow?

I've been thinking about something that probably affects most of us daily. You're writing an email, a Slack message, a tweet and you notice a typo or a sentence that doesn't sound right.

What do you do? Most people either copy the text into a separate tool, wait for the correction, then paste it back. Or they just ignore it and send the message as is.

Both options feel broken. One kills your flow, the other kills your credibility.

I'm curious about how the PH community deals with this:
