Hey Product Hunt 👋

I'm Guoqiang, a solo developer. I built SmartReply because of one very specific

annoyance.

Someone sends you a message. You read it. You know exactly what you mean. And then

you sit there for twenty seconds trying to turn it into a sentence that sounds

right. That gap between knowing what you mean and having the words is what this

app is about.

So the shape of the product is deliberately small. It's a keyboard, not a writing

app. You copy the message — or pick a screenshot — and it hands you up to five

one-sentence replies you can send as-is. No document, no paragraph, no editing

before you hit send. That last part was the whole design brief, and it turned out

to be the hardest one to hit, because every model wants to write you an essay.

Two things I want to be upfront about:

The privacy decision. Screenshots are OCR'd on the device with Apple's Vision

framework and downscaled; when you tap to analyze one, the text and the downscaled

screenshot go to the AI so it can catch what the text alone misses. There's

no account and no message history. And the privacy policy names the AI provider

instead of hiding behind "third-party partners", because I think that phrase is

used to avoid saying something you'd rather not say.

The pricing. The AI calls cost me real money per request and there's nothing

subsidising it — no ads, no data business. So there's a free tier (daily AI replies

and image scans, unlimited in time) and a subscription that raises the limits. I'm

funding this myself, and I'd rather say that plainly than pretend the paid tier

doesn't exist.

I'd love feedback on the keyboard interaction specifically — that's the part I've

stared at too long to judge anymore. And if there's a situation where the

suggestions come out wrong, tell me what you were answering; that's the feedback

I can actually act on.

Thanks for looking.

Guoqiang
