My Website-Writing Agent

by•

Hello! I’m building an AI writing platform designed specifically for giving writing feedback, unlike a general AI chatbot. It provides detailed feedback, tracks your progress overtime, remembers past assignments, and explains why changes should be made so you can become a better writer.

If you're willing to spend a few minutes trying it out, I'd really appreciate it. If you find it useful, feel free to create an account and let me know what you liked, what confused you, and what features you'd want to see next.

Here's the link:

Would you use this website? Do you prefer this over Chatgpt or Claude? Let me know!

I like the focus on helping people become better writers instead of just generating text. The progress tracking and personalized revision plan are especially interesting because that's something most general-purpose LLMs don't provide.

One thing I'd be curious about is how you prevent students from becoming over-reliant on the feedback itself. Do you encourage independent revision before showing suggestions, or is the coaching adaptive based on the writer's progress?

Looking forward to seeing how this evolves!

 Writing Agent is not an independent revisor, but rather, it tells you what to revise. I would encourage users to use Writing Agent to guide them with their revisions. As for being over-reliant, Writing Agent aids users in writing for themselves because it doesn’t rewrite anything for them. Over time, users will naturally learn how to make their writing better even without AI feedback. Also, could you explain your last question again? The feedback changes as a user writes a piece, and there is a “trend observation” piece of feedback that analyzes how a user’s writing has evolved over time.

 I really like the direction this discussion has taken around measuring actual learning instead of just better AI-assisted drafts.

One thought that came to mind is introducing periodic "checkpoint" assignments. Every few weeks, users could complete a short writing task without AI guidance, and the system could compare it against their earlier checkpoints. That would give a much stronger signal of whether their underlying writing ability is improving, rather than just how well they use the tool.

If you could eventually show metrics like "clarity improved 18%" or "grammar errors reduced by 35% over 3 months," that would be a compelling value proposition for both students and educators.

It's cool. I tried out your service on one of my technical articles. The analysis results highlighted not only points of improvement but also the strengths of the article, and the areas for improvement were clearly identified.

One thing I’m curious about is whether improving an article that’s been edited by AI actually yields results.

Do you have any results from A/B testing?

Writing Agent is a revision guide, not an editor. As users work with Writing Agent, they will progressively become more and more equipped with necessary writing skills and will improve over time. I have not done in-depth testing, but those who have used Writing Agent have shared that their writing has gotten better over time. I will have more data when the school year starts.

the progress-tracking angle is what caught my eye too, related but different question from over-reliance: do you have any way to tell whether someone's unassisted writing is actually getting better over months, or does the tracking only capture how their tool-assisted drafts improve? those are pretty different signals, one means the tool is teaching transferable skill, the other just means it's a good editor in the moment

 That is a great question! I actually do not have that feature yet, but I can add a non-AI feature so users can test how their writing has developed over time. Great observation!

 that would actually be the more convincing proof point than the assisted-draft trend. even something simple like an occasional cold-write prompt with no AI feedback in the loop, graded the same way, would let you show a real before/after. would you gate that behind a minimum usage window so there's a baseline to compare against, or let people opt in early

 I could simply talk about my own experience and how I witnessed this decline in my writing skills due to using AI as a text generation tool. Over the months, whenever I started wanting to write on my phone, I began to hesitate and lose confidence; this was the wake-up call, and that's when I realized that using AI was ruining my language skills. Making the effort to write naturally improves your skills; if you are coached by an AI, it makes you progress even further.

I like how the website gives clear analysis on your writing, and after testing my past graded writings, I found the predicted grades relatively accurate. In addition, comparing the feedback, I found that it was extremely similar to what my teachers said. Overall, it's a really strong website that has a lot of future potential. Nice job!

Something that could possibly be added is a gamified experience similarly to duolingo, in order to incentivise people to use your website more. Of course, this is just a minor change and if you would like a more professional approach, this website is already great.

 That’s a great idea! I’ll see how I can add that.
