  • The app uses GPT 3.5 in 2024😩

    I don't understand why AI developers skimp on providing a quality AI engine for their apps. Despite the clunky UI of this keyboard, which lacks swipe typing and spell checking, it only offers basic AI functions powered by the outdated GPT 3.5 model. The developer needs to realize we're in 2024. Even if there hasn't been significant UI improvement, upgrading the AI engine to something more competent than the outdated 3.5 is essential.
  • Simple but effective

    A minimalist design, but it’s quick and simple, and great for adjusting short text quips.

    My only gripes:

    Needs a Clear button or Reset button for the text box, instead of having to Select All.

    Occasionally I need to re-verify my Key.
  • Giving 5 stars to help dev out

    The app at least works. This seems to be a solo guy working on it on top of his job. I’ll always support good faith workers.

    Developer Response

    Thank you. FYI, I constantly add new features, the latest one being the voice compose feature.
  • Wow! Next Level AI

    I came back to leave a review. As a major dev in the AI space I'm telling you pound for pound Elephas is the real deal and the app everyone is copying even though they've been in this since the beginning. Train brains and unlock a new level of productivity, education, and even brand standardization across your business for employees!
  • Keyboard flickering

    Not sure why, but this is the only 3rd party keyboard I’m using with this issue.
  • Just a prototype

    Compared to the Mac version, this is some kind of sidekick app to pair with it. Don’t expect much, needs a new product team to focus on this companion app entirely. Just watch for updates until then.

    Dev responded to me, will update one day once major release takes place. This really should be in test pilot and not production. Follow what Arc browser is doing as a companion app.

    Developer Response

    I am working on updating the app with more features and improved UX. I appreciate your feedback.
  • Error?

    Why do I receive the following error, “ You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details.” I’m able to use chatGPT on OpenAI, why won’t my key work here?

    Developer Response

    OpenAI requires your card info to be added. ChatGPT and OpenAI API are two different things unfortunately.

  • Hard to use

    It’s really not obvious how to get this to work.

    Email replies don’t take the original into account—they don’t even scan unhighlighted text unless you type a blank line or something first—and chat replies in Messages don’t seem to do much either. My attempt to grammar check this actual review spins forever. My attempt to rewrite it does similar. The keyboard replaces highlighted text as a prompt, completes highlighted text, and translates ok. That’s about all I’ve been able to do with it.

    The keyboard itself is typo prone for some reason as well, and the hold space for the dashboard bit was a) not obvious and b) removes the standard ability to position the cursor by holding space bar. I also can’t find where to replace my API key if I cycle it—now that it’s entered I just see a “activated via setapp” message on that screen, but not my own key. I also can’t find where to set the GPT models being used, etc.

    This is super super rough compared to the desktop version and it needs a lot more bake time. Right now it’s not quite as useful as Grammarly, which is saying something.
