ClarifierAI is an iOS keyboard extension that rewrites, shortens, formalizes, or translates text directly inside any app — Gmail, WhatsApp, iMessage, LinkedIn, Slack — without copy-pasting to a separate tool. It highlights changed words individually so you can revert specific edits rather than accepting or rejecting the whole rewrite. The extension supports 113 languages for translation and applies multiple tone styles (professional, casual, concise, persuasive). Unlike AI writing tools that live in separate apps or web tabs, it hooks directly into the iOS keyboard so the friction between drafting and AI polishing is eliminated. The granular word-level undo is the differentiating feature: most AI rewrite tools show you a before/after and force a binary choice. ClarifierAI lets you keep 'the client called' but revert 'and was disappointed' back to your original phrasing. That level of control turns it into an editing collaborator rather than a replacement.

LLMs find the fair deal neither side thought of

Mediator.ai applies LLMs and Nash bargaining theory to real-world disputes, generating agreements that both parties would accept — including solutions neither side had imagined independently. The process is private by design: each party separately describes their position, priorities, and constraints. The AI then generates multiple candidate agreements, scores each one against both parties' stated needs, and iteratively refines proposals until reaching an optimal solution. Use cases range from founder equity disputes and contractor payment conflicts to shared housing arrangements and inheritance disagreements. The system's key insight is that human negotiation is systematically bad at identifying the entire solution space — we anchor on positions, not interests. By modeling both parties' utility functions simultaneously, the AI can find Pareto-optimal outcomes that pure adversarial negotiation often misses entirely. With 159 Hacker News points, the response was genuinely enthusiastic — and the concept is hard to dismiss. Nash bargaining as a formalism has decades of academic credibility; what's new is making it accessible via natural language input. The pricing isn't published yet and the team is small, but the application domain (legal, HR, personal disputes) is enormous if they can nail trust and confidentiality.
Reviewer scorecard
“The keyboard extension model is the right approach for mobile AI writing — context switching to a separate app kills the workflow. Word-level undo is also a genuinely smart UX decision that I haven't seen elsewhere. The 113-language support is impressive; tested it on technical Japanese documentation and it held up.”
“Applying Nash bargaining theory via LLMs to real disputes is a genuinely novel use case — not another chatbot wrapper. The architecture (private inputs, joint optimization, iterative refinement) is well-thought-out. I'd use this for contractor disputes before paying $400/hr for a mediator.”
“iOS keyboard extensions have always had friction with enterprise apps — many corporate MDM policies block third-party keyboards, and for good reason since they technically have access to everything you type. The 'no keylogging' claim is standard but unaudited. I'd verify the privacy policy very carefully before using this anywhere sensitive.”
“Real mediation relies on trust, confidentiality, and legal enforceability — none of which Mediator.ai can guarantee. If both parties don't trust the AI, the outcome is worthless. And for anything involving money or legal rights, you still need a human to ratify the agreement. The use case is narrower than it looks.”
“The keyboard is the last interface layer before human intention becomes digital text — whoever owns it owns a uniquely powerful position. As AI writing assistance moves to be ambient and always-available, the keyboard extension model will outcompete dedicated apps. ClarifierAI is early but the positioning is right.”
“AI mediation is going to quietly eat a massive slice of the legal services industry — not the courtroom drama, but the 90% of conflicts that never get resolved because lawyers cost too much. Mediator.ai is early but points at a multi-billion dollar opportunity in access to justice.”
“Word-level granular undo changes the relationship with AI writing assistance from 'accept or reject' to actual collaboration. As someone who writes a lot from mobile, not having to copy text to a separate app and back is genuinely meaningful. The tone modes (casual → professional) are well-tuned — not as robotic as most AI rewrites.”
“I've lost two client relationships over vague contract disputes that felt unsolvable. A private, AI-mediated negotiation tool that finds solutions neither side saw? Yes please. Even if it only works 60% of the time, that's better than the current outcome of 'both parties ghost each other.'”
