Inspiration

Seeing some great emails and Slack posts where the content was very easy to consume as it was well structured and easy to follow.

What it does

You simply input the thoughts to post, and on clicking the "Make it structured!" button, you get a response with section headings and bullet points. The sections are: "Background", "Updates", "Questions", "Action Items", and "tl;dr". This makes it very easy for your audience to consume what you have posted in an email or a chat.

How we built it

Using Chrome Canary, JavaScript, HTML, Showdown, and most importantly using Chrome's built-in AI. For now, only using the Summarizer API.

Challenges we ran into

• The guide on the writing assistance APIs: https://github.com/WICG/writing-assistance-apis gives basic examples and no link to the full reference or documentation.
• Rendering the markdown nicely. Thankfully, I found the Showdown JS library.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Getting it made exactly as I had imagined, and getting it made in less than a day.

What we learned

• The built-in AI by Chrome is awesome.
• Really surprised by the speed and accuracy of the responses. I expected it be rough initially till I get everything right, however, it was quite straightforward.

What's next for Structured-Posts

• Update it as per feedback from users.
• Adding more sections.
• Make it customizable i.e. add the option to choose the sections you want in the output.
• Utilize the Rewriter API so that the user can change the tone, length, and format of the output.
• Explore if and how this can be made multi-modal: can input be given via speech and can we get the output with diagrams/images and video.
