This tool is great, but expensive. I wish it could do more. This may be a great $10 app, not the best $10 monthly subscription. It needs separate payment for use of Open AI API. I hope the founder can develop it more actively and add more functionality.

@newkidtim1 Hey NK, I appreciate your feedback. It does require OpenAI payment, we might remove that dependency soon. At the same time, the current pricing model requires one to pay OpenAI only for what they use. I have been paying only a few dollars every month for my usage (I use it daily).

@newkidtim1 @kambanthemaker I just have to add a comment here. This tool is very cheap for what it does. It has saved me so many hours. I don't understand how anyone could consider this tool expensive.
@newkidtim1 I paid for the lifetime subscripton and just use my OpenAI account. I use it a couple times daily and its been very cheap. The one time cost of a little over a hundred kind of hurts, but compared to other tools this has been an excellent value for what it offers.
Aswin Kumar
@newkidtim1 I disagree. This tool is ridiculously affordable compared to other tools in the market. Instead of paying someone else per month, I pay directly to open AI for the exact words that I use and buy the tool for lifetime.
NK Tim
@aswin_kumar money has different value to different people. Perhaps $100 is nothing to you. In which case it’s fine what you wrote.

Hello PH community! I am Kamban, founder of Elephas. I am excited to present our community with Elephas. Thank you, Sharath, for hunting it for me. I started using GPT-3 in 2021 and was amazed by its potential. But only a few people realize the full potential of it. I reviewed many AI tools, and most of them require us to switch to a different interface and copy-paste the results. Then, I decided to build a tool to help busy professionals take advantage of GPT-3 on a day-to-day basis, right in their favorite apps. I believe AI should extend our capabilities instead of replacing us. As a solo indie hacker, Elephas is my way of making that happen. Think of Elephas as a tool that lies between Grammarly and JasperAI. Already, 150+ professionals use Elephas daily, and their feedback has been extremely positive. You can write new content, such as emails, blogs, and documents, rewrite your content in different styles, and use Elephas as a personal assistant to augment your writing. All right in your favorite Mac applications. That’s not all. Elephas has many utility features, including, - Repurposing content for social media - Fixing grammar mistakes - Generating Google Sheets/Excel formulas from instructions - Write headlines that convert - Create a Keynote presentation from a title - Understand any technical code - Turn your instruction into a Terminal command The 4.x version in the pipeline will add a lot more capabilities, including Mac Spotlight integration. Stay tuned. Let me know what you think. I am happy to answer any questions you might have.

@melissamonteee hey, sorry, no discount codes as this is already a low budget tool.

It's incredible to see a lot of AI tools popping up these days but Elephas stands out since it sits on your Mac. So if you are wondering about hiring a writing assistant, please don't and just use Elephas. Another thing I love about this tool is the founder, Kamban is building the whole product in public. So join me to support and cheer products like Elephas. Kamban will be around to answer any questions, so leave a comment or any feedback you think of!

@zippytyro thank you friend.

I'm intrigued, but curious about privacy. Does my writing stay on my Mac or go anywhere else?
Kamban

@gfriend Hey, we don't store any of your data on our servers. But remember, your data get sent to OpenAI's model.
Ayush Chaturvedi
Love it, congratulations @kambanthemaker . I've witnesses your journey from up close, including the 10+ failed projects before this. Your journey and vision is inspirational. I think there's a lot of value in using AI as an enabler instead of a replacement of human creativity. And Elephas does that job perfectly. Highly recommend the product to fellow makers and creators on PH

Actively use this app. I follow Kamban’s progress on Twitter. It’s a great tool if you want to use AI in your Mac workflow without jumping apps. Look forward to seeing this app grow.

The fact that by being a mac app, it easily integrates with anything that is editable, makes Elephas very powerful! Congratulations on the launch, @kambanthemaker

Jurij @ Varstatt
I'm really enjoying the application so far! I'm still testing it out, but it looks like it could be really beneficial. The one thing I found annoying was that you don't know when an application is opened in the top bar. I was restarting my laptop when I thought something was wrong :D Great job and keep pushing! 🚀

@jurijtokarski Hey J,T. I appreciate your feedback. Yeah, sometimes, when you have many icons on the menu bar, it could hide Elephas icon.
Patrick McCrann
The interface is the magic here, no context switching just a few keystrokes and you are rolling with new content variants. Founder has been extremely helpful and open to feedback. The UI is simple, the app is functional not fancy. Right up my alley. Thanks Kamban!

Ban Abuse
Great concept, but bad business model... We must pay fees to OpenIA - depending on daily usage - in addition to subscription !
Kamban
Maker
@ban_abuse Sorry about that. I have given a caculation, it must be only a few dollars per month for average use cases. In other words, your total cost per month will not exceed $10 while some of the others AI tools are way more costlier. But, we may eventually remove the OpenAI account dependency.

I love Elephas. I use it daily. The price is great, and even though I use it every day my OpenAI costs haven't gone above $10/mo yet. I hit $9 last month, but that took a LOT of work.
