TOOLS

Writing and creation in a digitized, AI-powered world

Every company wants you to go paperless because they send you way too many documents that you don’t read, but the most interesting evolution of handwriting and storytelling is in the current in-between stage.

Although lot of writing is now on a keyboard and screen, not with a pen and paper, there are innovative tools that combine these mediums (or convert one to the other) in very interesting ways.

Here are today’s notes on my insanely cool finds…

Lettre — A handwriting based messaging app. Request secret recipes from your grandmother, send birthday wishes to siblings far away, or find pen pals and forge new bonds. Along the way, collect unique digital stamps by independent artists.

KeepNotes — Transform your handwritten notes, diagrams, and sketches into digital format on Notion with a simple picture. Your notes become fully searchable, enabling you to find your ideas in seconds, no matter how old. I often want to jot things down the old fashioned way but never organize my notebooks. This fixes that problem simply.

IndieLogs — More of a techie or businessperson than a writer? Probably still need to write. IndieLogs enables solopreneurs to do that quickly. Create unique customizable profiles, share project updates, and integrate a changelog into your website to gain visibility and traffic through SEO.

Tweet Hunter — Speaking of needing to write for your project or business, a lot of writing is for social media platforms, especially X. Tweet Hunter guides you in every step of the ideation, writing, and growth lifecycle. Get it for $1 when you use the code COOL at checkout.*

Life Story AI — Tell the story of your life, your family, or a loved one in a book. Lisa the AI sends a new question by email every week. Just reply to the message by text or dictation. The book is written in an easy-to-read literary style as you go along. Before you order a hard copy, customize the title and cover, add photos, and update content.

ElegantDoc — Make impactful documents with a large range of adjustable templates. You only have to customize the essentials. Create academic papers, presentable certificates, brochures, resumes, invoices, or even proposals without spending hours in Canva or InDesign.

Storybook — A simple web based editor that lets you write, export (as PDF), and share enchanting tales with the world. You can upload a cover picture and write within a minimal and sleek UI. Using Storybook, I wrote a story called I Found a Tool Today. It’s the story of my life. DM me for an exhilarating read.
