My name is Eloïse, I'm 18, and I'm dyslexic. Plume was born from my own need: to write without mistakes, simply, from my phone.
Dyslexic and determined to build
I've been diagnosed with dyslexia since primary school, around age seven. And I've always wanted to be an entrepreneur. I had already built several websites that didn't take off, but I never let go of the idea of building something of my own.
The ChatGPT detour, until it wore me out
As I got started, I began reaching out to entrepreneurs on WhatsApp and other networks, from my phone. But I really didn't want to send messages full of mistakes. So I took a detour: I wrote my message in ChatGPT, asked it to fix it, copied the result, then pasted it into WhatsApp. A long, painful process that eventually got on my nerves.
The spark, with my developer father
I talked about it with my father, an IT developer for over 30 years, who has also been building websites on the side for years. He told me it was a great idea: to make an app that fixes messages right from the keyboard, using AI, so it would be far more capable than a classic spell-checker.
How Plume was born
That's how Plume came to be: by bringing together my problem as a dyslexic, my drive to build a company, and my father's expertise. Today, Plume helps you write without mistakes, without changing your style, right where you write.
