OthersideAI develops HyperWrite, a personalized, context-aware AI writing assistant that delivers smart suggestions and completions across the web. HyperWrite leverages GPT-3 and similar models while using proprietary technology to personalize output to each user's style and to account for task context, such as prior messages in an email thread. The product is delivered as a Chrome extension and a platform where users can create, share and use custom templates via a marketplace. The company plans to extend user-created templates beyond writing toward automating web-based tasks like managing calendars, booking travel and ordering food. HyperWrite reports nearly a million people have used it to date, with nearly 200k monthly active users last month and over 100k Chrome extension installs. OthersideAI is also one of the largest customers of Cohere and OpenAI, and investors cite strong user and revenue growth. OthersideAI uses OpenAI's GPT-3 to transform bullet points and context from email chains into complete, personalized messages that mimic a user’s tone and style. The product ingests user preferences and past email context so outputs can be regenerated or tweaked and the system will learn those preferences over time. The team emphasizes security and limited data use while aiming to handle both rote and "serious" emails robustly. CEO Matt Shumer and colleagues Jason Kuperberg and Miles Feldstein built the demo that gained attention and secured GPT-3 access. The company reports almost 10,000 people on a waitlist for its test version. OthersideAI sees early demand from engineers, developers, sales and support teams, and notes interest from accessibility use cases such as gaze-based typing. Its long-term vision is a network of interlocking AIs that can securely connect and answer questions with minimal human involvement.
