展示HN：一款重新构建情感充沛文本的AI应用（曾在《连线》杂志中报道）
嗨，HN，我是Sol（YC06）。我独自创建了BestInterest（[https://bestinterest.app](https://bestinterest.app)），旨在帮助离婚后的共同抚养者平和地沟通。它刚刚在《连线》杂志上被报道（[https://www.wired.com/story/ai-emotional-spellcheck-difficult-people/](https://www.wired.com/story/ai-emotional-spellcheck-difficult-people/)）——没有任何公关宣传。
这个想法源于个人经历——一次痛苦的离婚和艰难的共同抚养沟通。法院常常告诉共同抚养者要保持事务化和以孩子为中心，这听起来简单，但在实践中却非常困难。我意识到，人工智能可以做到人类常常做不到的事情——将情感从沟通中剔除。最初这是一个简单的理论——人工智能实际上可以防止数字沟通中的情感虐待。
在谷歌工作多年后，我曾暂时离开科技行业（我在那里的职位是产品经理），但最终我抖掉了灰尘，决定自己来构建这个项目。
技术栈：
Google Cloud + Firebase + Gemini（仍然保留一些OpenAI的功能） + Twilio。前端使用FlutterFlow。我从零开始，完全自筹资金，最初没有团队，只有坚持、一个支持我的伴侣和在孩子们入睡后的深夜工作。共同抚养的一个好处是：突然有了很多无孩子的时间来思考和编程。
早期，我就知道我想找一位在虐待恢复方面有深厚专业知识的顾问。在我自己的康复过程中，Dr. Ramani Durvasula的YouTube视频改变了我的生活，因此她成为了我“绝不可能实现”的名单上的首位。我给她发了冷邮件，没想到她答应了。
昨天，《连线》杂志报道了我们的故事：“离婚了？有孩子？还有一个难以应对的前任？人工智能可以解决这个问题。”顺便提一下，在文章中，我们的主要竞争对手承认使用用户的个人通信作为训练数据——这让人感到惊讶。
看到一个源于个人痛苦的项目如今以如此深刻的方式帮助他人，真是令人难以置信。我每周都会收到客户的邮件，告诉我这个应用改变了他们的生活。这让我感到无比欣慰。
我在不断学习——在这样一个敏感的领域构建产品让我在许多方面面临挑战，也让我看到了这种技术的迫切需求。
以一种奇怪的方式，我“幸运”地亲身经历了这种痛苦；这帮助我理解了我的细分市场所需的东西。人工智能既有可能造成伤害或传播虚假信息，也有潜力为黑暗的地方带来光明——保护受害者并帮助人们在沟通中找到安全感。
乐意讨论以下内容：
- 独自启动一个消费者人工智能应用
- 在孩子、离婚和八年的间歇后重新开始作为企业家的生活
- 转型为全职爸爸（九年前）
- 在没有营销预算的情况下，在细分市场中建立真实的用户基础——利用人工智能和搜索引擎优化
- 为一个法律和情感复杂的社区构建产品
- 使用人工智能保护免受虐待——设计帮助而不至于过度审查的过滤器
- 进入一个半监管的行业，许多人认为仅仅运营就需要法院批准
欢迎提问——乐意分享我的旅程、挑战或任何其他引起共鸣的内容。

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.
