Real Questions. Real Answers.

_{Day 257/100}

Hey—It's Tim. 

I sent Saturday's email and got 30 clicks before I even finished my coffee.

My inbox hasn't stopped.

Here are the questions you're asking (and the answers you need before tomorrow):

"Does this work with content I've already written?"

Yes. But not straight away. At the moment it’s just for Penfriend written content, but the “bring your own content” update is about a week away.

You’ll be able to upload any blog post. Penfriend analyzes it, gives you sentence-level feedback right next to the content. You can fix and republish.

"I'm already pay for Penfriend. Do I get this automatically?"

Yes. You log in Monday, it's there. No upgrade, no new plan, no extra cost.
This is an update to Penfriend. Not a different product.

Everyone gets it.

"What's the difference between this and just using ChatGPT?"

ChatGPT gives you a wall of text: "Consider improving paragraphs 3-7 for better flow."

Penfriend shows you feedback right next to the sentence that needs fixing: → "This sentence is 47 words. Readers lose focus after 25. Suggestion: Split here."

One is advice. The other is a fix.

The main difference? Literally hours of your life.

"Can I try it before upgrading?"

Yes. Free plan gets 3 articles. Full VIBE + Float scores + in-article feedback requires credits.

But here's the thing: If you upgrade to annual before tomorrow, you lock in +50% bonus credits (6 months free).
Monthly get’s 50% + credits too.

Tomorrow that drops to +30% (3.6 months free).

That's 2.4 months you're leaving on the table.

If you publish 10 blogs/month, that's 24 blogs = $1,200 in value.

"I only publish 2 blogs a month. Is this still for me?"

Probably not. We built this for people shipping 4-18 blogs/month who need their content to be consistently good without spending 3 hours editing each one.

If you're writing 2/month and spending 6 hours per post getting it perfect, you probably don't need this.

(And that's fine. Not every tool is for everyone.)

"What if I wait a month and upgrade later?"

You'll pay the same price, but you'll get 30% bonus credits instead of 50%.

Over 12 months, that's the difference between:

• +50%: 18 months of credits for the price of 12

• +30%: 15.6 months of credits for the price of 12

You lose 2.4 months.

Not "maybe." Actually lose.

One more thing someone asked:

"Why'd you spend 6 months building this? Couldn't you have shipped faster?"

Yes. We could've shipped a "good enough" version in 6 weeks.

But contextual feedback - feedback that appears right next to your sentence, not in a separate tab - is fucking hard to build.

Most AI tools are GPT wrappers. They generate text. That's it.

We had to:

• Analyze content at the sentence level

• Score each sentence for "humanness" (VIBE) and rankability (Float)

• Position feedback contextually

• Make it smart enough to actually help

We spent 6 months because we wanted it to be the thing we wish existed.

Tomorrow, you get it.

Lock it in before 9am Monday:

See you tomorrow morning.

P.S. If you're already convinced and don't need the reminder:

Just reply "LOCKED IN" and I'll send you the direct link.

P.P.S. If you're on the fence:

Monday morning I'm sending a walkthrough of exactly how to use this.

But if you want the extra 2.4 months of credits, lock in before 9am.
