Aido: Your typing assistant.

Finally got tired of the "Copy-Paste" dance between WhatsApp and ChatGPT, so I built an AI-powered "Swiss Army Knife" for Android.

Hey guys,

I've always felt that Android's multitasking is cool, but switching between apps just to fix grammar or get an AI reply is a productivity killer. You know the drill:

Copy text -> Open AI app -> Paste -> Wait for reply -> Copy -> Switch back -> Paste.

So, I built Aido.

It’s essentially a layers-over-everything tool that works inside any text field. Here’s what it can do without you ever leaving your current app:

  • AI Everywhere: Integrated Gemini/ChatGPT. Just type what you want, hit a trigger, and let Aido write the reply, summarize, or rephrase right there.
  • 50+ Text Actions: One-tap to fix grammar, translate, change case, or even repeat text (spam protection, anyone? ).
  • In-line Calculator: Ever needed to do quick math while chatting? Type 500 * 12 and Aido replaces it with the result instantly.
  • Continuous Voice Typing: For when you're too lazy to type but need it to be accurate.
  • WhatsApp Power Tools: Send messages to unsaved numbers or use quick templates.
  • Cool Fonts: Switch to "π–²π—π—’π—…π—‚π—Œπ— π–₯π—ˆπ—‡π—π—Œ" on the fly for your bio or tweets.
  • Shortcuts : Save your address, email, or common replies as snippets.
  • And much more: As you explore the app (under Special Commands), you will discover even more. It uses Accessibility services to read/write text in other apps (safely, of course). I really wanted something that feels like it’s part of the OS.

I'd love to hear your feedback or any weird feature ideas you want me to add!
