Very early Beta. Promising design, bad execution
I’ve now taken Dreamwriter for a ride and can see where you’re going with this. Overall, promising in UI/UX, but sadly lacking in terms of execution. I’ve summarized some comments below (in no particular order).
Sources: You need to state the source for any claim in some form of footnotes. It’s unacceptable and unprofessional that the AI comes up with a statement such as “70% of streaming services are profitable” without backing this up through a source and corresponding link, ideally in the footnote and following accepted syntax.
Design: The design for the presentations is boring and unengaging. The slides/pages are just heartlessly assembled without a coherent or compelling thread. Not sure which AI model you’re using, but this feels like ChatGPT-3. There’s no proper research done on the topic, and the AI just rambles along. The layout for the text isn’t nice either. There’s no spacing, just one sentence after the other. Visually very unappealing.
Branding: I’d like the platform to make use of more than one logo for the brand, selecting the best for each occasion and layout.
Account Details: I’d like to see the remaining limits of my account somewhere in the dashboard. At the moment, I have no idea how many pages I’ve created and have to manually count my campaigns. A simple counter such as X/Y campaigns and X/Y pages (reset on DD/MM) would be helpful.
I’m not sure whether I’m downgrading to tier 1 at the moment. This platform feels very much subpar beta, and I’ve already had too many services that have folded and didn’t improve over time.

Mar 20, 2025Hello Jurgen!
It's nice to meet you, I'm Evan, the Founder of Dreamwriter. And thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed email. This feedback is going directly into to our product team/product roadmap. Moreover, want to address how we're actively working on some of the issues that you've highlighted.
Sources = Yes, I totally agree. If we're ever using any data that comes from an external source, it should be cited. It's on our product roadmap.
Something we're doing in the very short-term (either a release today or Monday) is implementing a new backend RAG Vector database. This will help with pulling real-statistics from your source files (either weblinks or documents). Would love to have you test it out!
Design = We're constantly working on improving the design of our content. We have another iteration of adding more design elements to our UI editor, something up in a few weeks.
AI Models = Actually, we're looking to layer in other AI models next week. We'll be using a combo of Claude, GPT 4o (what we're using now), and 3o mini. We're testing it as we speak and definitely are seeing a major improvement. Still need to run some more tests, but hope you'll also try this out!
Branding/Logo = Actually, that's very unique feedback. We've never heard that feedback before. Would you mind explaining the use case a bit more? I'll then take it to the product team and determine when we can slot it into our product roadmap.
Account Details: Also another piece of unique feedback! Totally straightforward feature request. I'll take that to our product team now!
I hope you'll continue to test out Dreamwriter. We are still an early-stage company, but this type of feedback is critical! Thank you so much for sending and I'm also going to dive into ARI today!
All the best,
Evan
