Hey Product Hunters! πŸ‘‹ My name is Bret, and I am the Founder of Baron.ai! We are very excited to launch with you all, and are very interested in getting your feedback on Baron. What Baron Does: Baron allows you to use ChatGPT in any app, natively on Windows, Mac, or Linux to streamline your productivity. It was designed to make using ChatGPT more accessible and easier to use. Features: πŸ–₯️ Natively integrated on Windows, Mac, and Linux ⌨️ Call Baron with a hotkey anywhere (alt+spacebar on Windows/Linux, option+spacebar on Mac), in any app or web browser, no more trying to find the right browser tab, and switching between different applications. ⚑️ Highlight for context - no need to copy and paste text to feed ChatGPT context, just highlight the text you need, hit the hotkey, enter your prompt, and Baron picks up on the context and gets to work. πŸ‘©πŸ»β€πŸ’Ό Profile Builder - craft expert personas that significantly improves response quality . 🧠 Prompt Engine - create, save, and share your go-to prompts to streamline repetitive tasks. πŸ“– Chat History - return to any conversation, at any time, to pick up right where you left off Why Baron? We created Baron to solve the two biggest issues users face when trying to adopt AI into their every day work stream: - accessibility, and quality/ease of use. Accessibility With Baron, AI becomes more accessible for everyday use - once installed on to your computer, all you have to do to access the power of ChatGPT is press the hotkey and Baron launches, front and center. Quality/Ease of Use Baron's profile builder, prompt engine and context aware features, enable users to leverage ChatGPT to its full potential without the learning curve. Don't worry about crafting the perfect prompt, with all the right context, and instructions. Instead, simply create a profile persona by filling out the relevant details of the expertise you're trying to access, and in no time you can be asking that persona any question. This results in significantly higher quality responses. Product Hunters, we'd be grateful if you try and rate Baron AI. We review every piece of feedback and use it to improve the product and experience. We've prepared a full featured free trial, and a forever free plan, no credit card needed.
Launching soon!
@bretalarsen Bret, hats off to the Baron.ai team for this innovative approach! Making ChatGPT seamlessly accessible across platforms and enhancing user experience with features like the Profile Builder and Prompt Engine is truly commendable. I'm intrigued by the profile persona concept - how adaptable is it to specialized industries or unique user requirements? Baron seems poised to transform how we integrate AI into our daily workflow. Great work! p.s. Let's connect if you need some honest feedback.

Thank you for the feedback, @parul0_0 - I'd love to hear more! The Profile Builder is a real game changer, it is designed to be highly flexible to cater to specialized industries and unique user requirements. With Baron, you can create profiles that mimic specific roles or industries, such as a content marketing manager at a social media platform for product enthusiasts :) or a software engineer at a fintech company. The profiles save context and chat history, so every time you access them, Baron instructs ChatGPT to recall this context, resulting in more context-rich and accurate answers that align with the chosen profile. I'd be happy to give you the details behind some of the profiles I've used - it's amazing how good the responses get when working with an informed persona profile!

@bretalarsen Hello! I'm having trouble registering on your website. I spent 25 minutes trying to register, but ended up receiving a message to go to my email and confirm my registration through a link. I clicked on the link, but received the message "You're on your way. Feel free to close this tab." Then, I entered my email and password, but saw the message "Please confirm ownership of your email address by clicking the link delivered to your inbox." I tried to register with different email addresses, but nothing changed.
Bret Larsen
Hey @bari_hamelson - Thanks for letting me know. Can you send me an email to hello@baron.ai? We'll get this figured out for you :) In the meantime, be sure to click the email from your computer where Baron is installed.

Congratulations on the Baron.ai launch, Bret! πŸš€ This sounds like a game-changer for AI accessibility. πŸ€–βœ¨ I'm curious, how do you envision Baron evolving in terms of expanding the range of expert personas? Any plans for specialized domains or industries?
Nick Fisher
@heyumarkhan Thank you! We're happy to provide users with the ability to define their own expert personas.
Bret Larsen
@heyumarkhan +1 to @fishz - one of the great features about Baron is you can add new expert personas yourself! For example, we created a Product Marketing Manager who is an expert in all things Baron - it's our go to profile when we're trying to explain how to use Baron in marketing materials. The profiles allow you to add as much context as you want so it's a real game changer. Take it for a spin, and let us know if you have any questions!

Jake Harrison
The idea of launching ChatGPT in any app with just a hotkey? That's some next-level productivity magic right there. I'm curious, with the Profile Builder, can I craft personas that are super niche, like a 'Retro Gaming Enthusiast' or 'Vintage Cookbook Expert'?
Blaze Malan
Hey @jakeharr, Thank you for your enthusiasm! We're just as thrilled about the possibilities Baron AI unlocks. Regarding the Profile Builder, you're spot on. It's one of the core features we're most proud of. Here's the deal: Deep Customization: You can craft incredibly niche personas like you mentioned and it's not just about naming a profile; you can fine-tune the nuances, preferences, and quirks of each persona. Consistent Interaction: Once you've set up a persona, every time you invoke Baron AI with that profile, you're essentially continuing your conversation with that 'persona'. This means you get consistency in the responses and a genuine feeling of interacting with a well-defined character or expert. Iterative Refinement: Over time, as you interact more with a particular persona, you might find areas you'd like to tweak or adjust. The Profile Builder is dynamic, allowing you to continuously refine and evolve your personas based on your needs. Importance of Personas: The ability to create and maintain distinct personas ensures that your interactions with Baron AI are context-rich and tailored. Hope that sheds more light on our vision for Baron AI. Dive in and let us know how it goes!

I've been using Baron AI for a couple of months now and have been shocked at how quickly it became a core part of my workflow. There are so many opportunities throughout the day to use ChatGPT to enhance your work productivity, but I found that I didn't use it as much as I should have because having to jump to a specific browser tab where I was logged into ChatGPT wasn't convenient and quite honestly, I just didn't think about it. Having the power of ChatGPT with just a click of a button + the profile builder is an incredibly powerful combo. 10/10 product and I highly recommend trying it out for yourself if you haven't already.
Bret Larsen
Thanks for the support, @reid_hiatt1! Your feedback has been super helpful in refining the product!

Baron sounds like a great way to democratize LLMs for people. I found that the prompt engineering is one of the key things holding users back. If you put garbage in, you get garbage out. How does the prompt engineering work in Baron? Interested to hear more about how that is streamlined for better outputs. Congrats on the launch!
Bret Larsen
Thanks, @justin_govy! You're spot on with LLMs - garbage in, garbage out - that's where the magic of Baron comes in. It allows you to create incredibly informed profiles that bring a ton of context and direction when interacting with the AI. Once you have a profile setup, you can save profile-specific prompts (you can save generic prompts as well), which return 100x better quality responses! It basically allows you just launch Baron and start having a conversation, instead of spending a lot of time trying to figure out 'the perfect prompt'.
