Summary
ApplicationFeedback is a new tool that uses AI to provide instant, detailed critiques and rewrite suggestions for startup accelerator applications, pitch decks, grants, and cold emails. By offering fast, tailored feedback—unlike the slow, generic responses founders often receive—it aims to accelerate iteration and improve application quality. This highlights AI’s growing role in automating expert feedback and streamlining high-stakes, text-heavy processes.
Hi HN, I built ApplicationFeedback (https://applicationfeedback.com/) to give founders instant, AI-generated critiques on accelerator applications. Every year I watch teams iterate endlessly on wording, only to get boilerplate feedback weeks later. I wanted something faster and harsher, like a partner who has read 1000 successful applications so founders can iterate faster. How it works 1. Paste your draft (no login required). 2. Pick a template (accelerator, pitch deck, grant, cold email). 3. An AI model scores each key sections and offers rewrite suggestions. 4. Copy or download the revised text. Looking for feedback on What parts of the feedback feel useful, and where does it miss the mark? Latency/UX annoyances? Would you trust AI for something as important as an accelerator app? Drafts are processed in-memory, never stored, and the service is fully GDPR compliant. I’ll be in the thread all day brutal honesty welcome!
