Be Nice

Are you an a**hole?

Then be-nice is for you.

You get straight to the point.

You skip the social niceties.

People read it as hostility.

Be Nice is a thin pre-send layer for Slack, email, and chat. It keeps your point and removes the part that makes people stop listening.

No small talk No fake warmth No auto-send

be-nice solves this for you

Your intent stays sharp. The avoidable interpersonal damage gets removed.

Before and after

Same point. Fewer people pissed off.

What you almost sent

Per my last email, this is obviously wrong. Fix this ASAP!!

What lands better

Following up on my earlier note, this looks wrong. Can you update it by today at 4?

How it works

A thin layer on top of Slack.

Be Nice sits at the compose boundary. You type normally, hit send, and the layer audits the draft only when it sees avoidable friction.

Be Nice audit

Sounds irritated. Same ask, less heat?

Seamless means it does not become another inbox.

The product should feel like a small guardrail in the message box: audit on send, suggest one revision, let you keep moving.

  • Only appears when the draft has tone risk.
  • Preserves the actual ask and deadline.
  • Never sends for you.

Apple iOS path

Also: a Be Nice keyboard for anywhere you type.

The iOS version should be an optional custom keyboard extension: switch to Be Nice with the globe key, tap Rewrite when the draft is risky, then insert the cleaner version into the active text field.

  • Works across apps that allow third-party keyboards.
  • Falls back to the system keyboard in secure fields.
  • Local checks first; network rewrites require explicit full access.
