Show HN: Binx, an AI Agent which helps you write more (opens in new tab)

Hi HN! I'm sharing my personal experiment in using AI to help humans be more creative, which I'm calling "Binx".

I love writing, but often have trouble getting started or picking back up where I left off. I wanted an accountability buddy that would bug me for pages, be excited to read my latest work, and which could share interesting tips or writing prompts when I haven't written for a while

Binx is a discord chatbot which combines all of those things, running against a local LLM (StableBeluga2 70B) with a prompt-injection routine that gives it "thoughts" to consider when giving writing advice or exercises and reflecting on my work. The script prompts Binx from a corpus of tips and then re-frames them in the context of your previous writing and what you want to work on.

I'm not really looking to turn this into a business, but I'm very interested in the human psychology side of this, and whether an AI accountability buddy can help people feel more creative, work through their resistance, and write more.

You can try it out by joining the discord server here and then DMing Binx. https://discord.gg/RdzVVAAJZ
