Show HN：情绪文本重构 AI 应用（曾被 WIRED 杂志报道）
4 分•作者: solfox•8 个月前
大家好，我是 Sol (YC06)。我独自一人创建了 BestInterest (<a href="https://bestinterest.app" rel="nofollow">https://bestinterest.app</a>)，旨在帮助离异父母和平沟通。它最近在 WIRED 上进行了专题报道 (<a href="https://www.wired.com/story/ai-emotional-spellcheck-difficult-people/" rel="nofollow">https://www.wired.com/story/ai-emotional-spellcheck-difficul...</a>)——没有任何公关宣传。<p>这个想法源于我的个人经历——一段痛苦的离婚和充满挑战的共同育儿沟通。法院经常告诉离异父母要保持公事公办的态度，并以孩子为中心，这听起来很简单，但实践起来却非常困难。我意识到人工智能可以做到人类常常做不到的事情——消除情绪干扰。最初，这只是一个简单的理论——人工智能实际上可以防止数字交流中的情感虐待。<p>在谷歌工作多年（我曾是那里的产品经理）后，我离开了科技行业一段时间，但最终还是掸掉了灰尘，决定自己动手创建它。<p>技术栈<p>Google Cloud + Firebase + Gemini (仍然保留一些 OpenAI 功能) + Twilio。前端：FlutterFlow。我完全是自力更生——没有资金，最初也没有团队，只有坚持、一位支持我的伴侣，以及在孩子们睡着后的深夜。共同育儿的一个好处是：突然间，有了很多没有孩子打扰的时间来思考/编程。<p>早期，我就知道我需要一位在虐待康复方面拥有深厚专业知识的顾问。在我自己的康复过程中，Ramani Durvasula 博士的 YouTube 视频改变了我的生活，所以她排在我的“永远不可能”名单的首位。我给她发了一封冷邮件——令我惊讶的是，她答应了。<p>昨天，WIRED 刊登了我们的故事：“离婚？有孩子？还有一个难搞的前任？人工智能可以解决这个问题。” 附注：在文章中，我们主要的竞争对手承认使用用户的个人通信数据进行训练——这真是……令人惊讶。<p>看到从个人痛苦开始的东西现在以如此深刻的方式帮助他人，这真是超现实。我每周都会收到客户的电子邮件，说这个应用程序改变了他们的生活。这非常令人欣慰。<p>我正在边做边学——在这个敏感的领域进行构建，在很多方面都挑战了我，并表明了这种技术的需求有多么迫切。<p>从某种奇怪的意义上说，我很“幸运”地亲身经历了这种痛苦；它帮助我了解了我的细分市场需要什么。人工智能既有可能造成伤害或虚假信息，也有可能照亮黑暗的地方——保护受害者并帮助人们在交流中找到安全感。<p>很乐意谈论以下任何内容：<p>- 独自一人启动一个消费者人工智能应用程序<p>- 在有了孩子、离婚和八年休假后重新开始创业生活<p>- 转型成为全职爸爸（9 年前）<p>- 在没有营销预算的情况下，在一个细分市场中建立真正的订阅用户群——利用人工智能和 SEO<p>- 为一个法律和情感上都很复杂的社区构建产品<p>- 使用人工智能防止虐待——设计在不过度审查的情况下提供帮助的过滤器<p>- 打入一个准监管行业，许多人认为运营都需要获得法院批准<p>AMA——很乐意谈论这段旅程、挑战或任何引起共鸣的事情。

Hi HN, I’m Sol (YC06). I built BestInterest (<a href="https://bestinterest.app" rel="nofollow">https://bestinterest.app</a>) solo to help co-parents communicate peacefully after divorce. It was just featured in WIRED (<a href="https://www.wired.com/story/ai-emotional-spellcheck-difficult-people/" rel="nofollow">https://www.wired.com/story/ai-emotional-spellcheck-difficul...</a>) - without any PR.<p>The idea came from personal experience — a painful divorce and challenging co-parenting communication. Courts often tell co-parents to keep things business-like and child-focused, which sounds simple but is brutally hard in practice. I realized AI can do what humans often can’t — remove emotion from the loop. It started as a simple theory — that AI could actually prevent emotional abuse in digital communication.<p>I’d taken a break from tech after years at Google (I was a PM there), but eventually brushed off the dusties and decided to build it myself.<p>THE STACK<p>Google Cloud + Firebase + Gemini (with some OpenAI functionality still in place) + Twilio. Front end: FlutterFlow. I bootstrapped everything — no funding, no team at first, just persistence, a supportive partner, and late nights after my kids were asleep. One upside of co-parenting: suddenly, a lot of kid-free time to think/code.<p>Early on, I knew I wanted an advisor with deep expertise in abuse recovery. During my own healing, Dr. Ramani Durvasula’s YouTube videos were life-changing, so she topped my “never-going-to-happen” list. I cold-emailed her — and to my surprise, she said yes.<p>Yesterday, WIRED featured our story: “Divorced? With Kids? And an Impossible Ex? There’s AI for That.” Side note: in the article, our leading competitor acknowledged using users’ personal correspondence for training data — which was… surprising.<p>It’s surreal seeing something that began with personal pain now helping others in such a profound way. I get emails every week from customers saying the app has changed their lives. It’s incredibly gratifying.<p>I’m learning as I go — building in a space this sensitive has challenged me in many ways and shown just how deeply this kind of technology is needed.<p>I was “fortunate,” in a strange way, to have lived this pain firsthand; it helped me understand what was needed for my niche. AI has just as much potential to create harm or false information as it does to bring light to dark places — protecting victims and helping people find safety in their communication.<p>Happy to talk about any of these:<p>- Bootstrapping a consumer AI app solo<p>- Restarting life as an entrepreneur after kids, a divorce, and an eight-year hiatus<p>- Transitioning to being a full-time dad (9 years ago)<p>- Growing a real subscriber base in a niche without a marketing budget — leveraging AI and SEO<p>- Building for a legally and emotionally complex community<p>- Using AI to protect against abuse — designing filters that help without over-censoring<p>- Breaking into a quasi-regulated industry where many assume court approval is required just to operate<p>AMA — happy to talk about the journey, the challenges, or anything else that resonates.
