WriteAway

Edit with WriteAway Agent
AI Blocks
Tab to Complete

Inspiration

I've been loving bolt.new and cursor as AI powered tools to help keep me in the flow state and be more productive while I code. I wanted the exact same experience for writing. Gemini in Docs and Notion AI were not quite cutting it -- they were basically just chatGPT cloned into the window, and I wanted something more agentic that could actually interact with my docs.

I also found a tweet by Guillermo Rauch from Vercel regarding "reactive vibe blocks", or notion-style components that were built with an LLM prompt and react in real time to you document contents. This essentially became the basis for WriteAway AI Blocks.

What it does

Tab to complete -- Just like Cursor but for natural language
Agentic Edits -- WriteAway Agent can make edits to you docs, just like Bolt.new, but for docs!
Reactive AI Blocks -- Blocks are built with a prompt and are embedded in your docs, reacting in realtime to changes you make.

How we built it

Primarily used bolt.new for the UI, and general application experience.
AI Reactive blocks was actually a one shot prompt!
Hosted on Netlify
Added finishing touches in Cursor for AI Agent scaffolding and other small edits I didn't want to waste bolt tokens into.

Challenges we ran into

The chat got a little long and we found bolt to be less performant over time, forking the project and starting anew helped a lot with that.
Bolt struggled a little with some pure business log plumbing, so we opted to manually code that.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Getting a working version of this shipped!
Presenting this project to Bolt.new CEO Eric at a Design Buddies event in SF!

What we learned

We learned how to ship extremely fast and cool experiences with the power of Bolt
The optimal approach for us was to do all of the scaffolding and UI first in Bolt, which was great at coming up with the project structure.
