- The author is building an AI-assisted blog editor to enhance writing efficiency without losing personal voice.
- Existing tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Notion AI, and Cursor have limitations in maintaining personal tone or are optimized for coding.
- The custom editor is built with mdxEditor and NextJS, focusing on markdown compatibility and AI features that assist rather than replace the writer.
- First AI feature implemented: finding reference sources to speed up research and citation.
- The AI tool uses Perplexity for research and GPT4o for structured suggestions, with manual reference insertion for now.
- Future features may include UX improvements, proofreading, autocomplete, and image search/generation.
- The tool is currently private due to API costs, with potential for a part two blog post on further developments.
