Finally an Ai tool that is on the path to getting it right
I want to start this review off by saying Oscr is not up for an Oscar just yet. Nevertheless, it is one of the first ai tools that I would say is on it's way there. Oscar is doing some magic pixie dust stuff. No really it is. My new test for any new ai tool, because I have so many ai tools, is to create a really good prompt and try it in at least 3-4 of my ai existing tools. I hate to say this for most of my earlier tools, but Oscr outshined them in two categories at the moment.
Those two categories for my money is Creating darn good blogs. Oscr, blog writing workflow is pretty darn good. Yeah it is pretty special for a start up. That means they are on to something out of the gate.
The second workflow that made me consider a tier 3 was their LinkedIn workflow. I have never and I mean never seen an ai prompt get it right quite like Oscr. Seeing is believing. I did a live stream last night to show it in action. You can check that out here if you like

In closing, I want to share with you that as we are seeing a lot of new shiny ai tools showing up nearly every other day here on Appsumo. I can assure you that as of this writing you have not seen a tool Oscr show up until now. Is the deal a little tight? Yeah sure it is. I would rather see a tight deal and a business around in 5 years then an all unlimited deal that is only around for 5 months.
I would not pull this tool out for everyday use because the deal is so tight. I have other ai tools to do some of my daily lifting so don't buy this tool for super heavy usage as it is currently constructed. Does the tool look like a start up in some areas? Yeah it does. But this is a tool that I would be willing to take a chance on based on the founder, Angelina and the CTO Mehdi. They got some magic going on behind their tool. Every now and then a tool comes along and starts giving you a good feeling of hope. One that helps you take your business to the next level and Oscr.ai is that tool.
PROS+
+Blog workflow is fire!
+LinkedIn workflow is double fire!!
+Founder and team is on fire.
+The ability to add multiple sources is unheard of for a tool like this.
+Tone setting is magic
+Customize output
+No generic output (more human in a funny pixie dust way)
CONS-
-Need more workflows
-Need help videos (not sure why some companies come to appsumo with a tool no one has ever seen without help or getting started videos) Their discord helps but answering questions and demands all day long there and on Appsumo Q&A can take away from development time. I am here for it and I am willing to wait while others most certainly not.
-Can only upload knowledge source from a Google Drive for your knowledge base (I am not sure why this is the case but I am sure there is a reason)
Nice To Haves :
*Some analytics some where
*A credit cheatsheet so that I can manage my credits better even a link on the left side that simple said credit legend and it just had a quick screen pop up.
*Some type of (getting to know me source meter) meaning that the more sources I load the more the Learning Module let's me know how much it has learned thus far about me or my brand. Even having the option to select between a brand or a thought leader as it collects my knowledge sources.
* Create a workflow voting system and not try to satisfy every single Sumoling in the world. Your users will tell you what to build next. Don't go building a Crypto workflow when you have a thousand users and 2 of them want a Crypto workflow. Pace yourself and your users will let you know what they need and want. Please build a voting system for your roadmap or this could very well send you in a direction that no one wants.
Good luck and I wish you well Angelina and team.

We’re so thankful for your trust in our team and your patience as we continue to grow Oscr. You’re absolutely right – we want to build a business that lasts, one that evolves thoughtfully and sustainably, rather than rushing into unsustainable growth. Your suggestion about building a roadmap voting system is a great one, and we’ll definitely take that into consideration to make sure we’re creating the features that truly matter to our users.

Your list of "nice-to-haves" is so thoughtful, and I especially love the idea of a "getting to know me source meter" for a more personalized brand voice. These are the types of creative suggestions that we’d love to explore further as we grow.
