I built AuraText – a free Windows app that sits on top of every app (Notion, VS Code, Slack, Word) and optimizes your AI prompts before they reach the model.
The problem: most people get bad AI outputs because their prompts are vague. AuraText transforms raw prompts using frameworks like RISEN, COSTAR, and RTF – same AI, better input, dramatically better output.
Key things it does: - Works as a floating overlay in any Windows app - Built-in AI router (Claude for analysis, GPT-4 for creative, Gemini for research) - Bring your own API keys – no subscription - Supports 11 providers including local Ollama - Learning Mode to actually build prompt skills over time
Built this solo in 4 months. 1,000+ downloads so far. Completely free during beta.
Would love brutal feedback from HN.
