Shapeshift
An AI writing companion that sits in your browser and detects where you're typing, then instantly rewrites your draft in that platform's native style.

The Wow Moment
You type a raw, unpolished thought into a browser box and watch it instantly transform before your eyes - same meaning, completely different voice. Hit a hotkey and it cycles through 5 platform-specific variations. Your rough 'pencil' draft becomes a ghost, vanishing after it shows you the perfect version.
