This is an interesting interface for a sophisticated machine learning model. The user input is a moderately structured prompt (a line-delimited list of facts) and the output is text crafted for a particular medium (email).
This could be extended to support output for other mediums, such as Blog posts or social media updates.
It does drive me slightly crazy that this system JUST INJECTS NOISE. You provide it with concise, readable information. It dilutes that information with additional words and scaffolds it over complex sentence structure. The resulting email has a flourish, but takes more effort to read. It's an inverse document summarizer!
Perhaps there are benefits to this. Sometimes you want to make your reader invest a bit of effort in your message. I believe that can improve information retention. The email is also a generally-accepted human API. People might be more receptive to information presented as a letter than as a list.
The biggest benefit is probably on the author's side. This forces you to actually think about what you want to say. The input is basically an outline!
Paradoxically, I think Flowrite could improve communication by making authors and readers do MORE cognitive work rather than less.
