Why I built ChirpChirp

The Progress of AI Apps Is the Progress of Communication

AI models are incredibly capable — vast knowledge, powerful reasoning, superhuman potential. But that potential doesn’t surface automatically. It requires rich context and timely guidance to fully emerge. In essence, the best AI apps aren’t those with the biggest models, but those that enable better communication.

You can see this clearly in the evolution of AI-assisted coding — a field I know deeply.

In the Chat era, led by ChatGPT, human–machine interaction moved beyond vague keyword searches for outdated pages to real-time, one-on-one consultation based on personal context.

Then came the Tab era, with tools like GitHub Copilot. Communication became integrated directly into domain-specific workflows, like code editors — more focused, proactive, and granular than ever. There was no need to switch apps. The tool automatically collected contextual signals — such as the block of code you were editing — and offered suggestions inline.

Now we’re in the Agent era, where tools like Cursor take on a much more active role in the exchange. They ingest a broader context — your entire codebase, every keystroke and click — and produce larger-scale outputs: multi-step plans, multi-file edits, even autonomous actions. The result is a smoother, more hands-off experience that unlocks even more of what AI can do — while letting you focus on what matters.

But Communication Still Breaks Down

But even tools like Cursor have their limits. Sometimes, I just want to ask a question — but Cursor interprets it as doubt and instantly jumps to rewrite the code. Other times, I describe a moderately complex feature, and it charges ahead making edits that turn the project into a mess. Unrelated files? Touched and changed without hesitation. That’s become normal.

To avoid this, I often find myself typing the same kinds of disclaimers over and over — things like "I'm just asking, not suggesting a change", or "Please review the repo carefully and describe your plan before writing any code." Technically, you can set some of these rules in something like .cursorrules, but they’re often ignored. And writing them out each time gets tiring fast. That’s usually the moment I start blaming the AI for being dumb — when in fact, it isn’t. It just needs to be communicated with properly.

That’s when it really hits me: even with tools like Cursor taking on a more active role in the interaction, communication remains a two-way street. As AI becomes more proactive and agentic, it also demands clearer, more intentional guidance. Its capabilities have grown — but without human clarity, that power easily goes astray. The better the tool, the more important it is to communicate with it well.

Technically, the ideal solution would be a brain–computer interface — one that streams intent directly from my mind into the model, ensuring perfect alignment and flawless output. But clearly, that’s not happening anytime soon.

And that’s where ChirpChirp comes in.

Unlike domain-specific apps that improve communication within narrow workflows, ChirpChirp is designed to address the most common, recurring problems in everyday human–AI communication.

So what does ChirpChirp do exactly?

What is ChirpChirp

A Silly Approach

So what does ChirpChirp actually do?

Honestly — it's simple. Almost embarrassingly so.

Right now, its core function is this: search for a pre-written prompt and copy-paste it where you need it. That’s it.

You could do something similar with tools like Raycast. The difference? ChirpChirp is built specifically for prompts — so editing, organizing, and managing them feels a lot more natural. It also supports syncing across devices, which is a paid feature.

That’s where we started — not with “magic,” but with something that works.

A Little Bit More

But behind that simplicity, ChirpChirp removes much of the friction that comes with reusing prompts in real workflows — making everyday AI communication faster, smoother, and less repetitive.

Sometimes, improving efficiency isn't about going from 10% to 20% — it's about going from not doing it at all to doing it with a single keystroke.

The prompts you used to skip out of laziness? Now they’re just there. And the tasks your AI used to fumble because you didn’t bother to explain? Now they get done — because you finally do.

All of that is possible because ChirpChirp makes prompt reuse effortless.

You can assign custom shortcuts to the prompts you use most and trigger them instantly — in any app, with a single keystroke. Each prompt is fully editable, so you can refine wording, adjust instructions, or include examples to steer the AI more precisely.

Best of all, your library grows with you — and over time, it becomes more than a tool.
It becomes your own AI knowledge base — shaped by what you write, reuse, and refine over time, and always aligned with how you work, not the tools you use.

A Simple Belief

ChirpChirp is built on a simple belief: AI is already powerful — and getting better — but we’ll always need better ways to communicate with it.
Models have limits, but more often, it’s our communication that holds them back.

ChirpChirp is focused on boosting human–AI communication:

We don’t provide AI services or host model APIs. You already know what works best — and you shouldn’t be tied to our platform to use it.
We don’t prescribe how prompts should be written. You know what structure fits your workflow — you just need a more convenient way to use it.

We help you use AI with less friction — and turn repetition into knowledge.

An Interesting Name

ChirpChirp sounds like a bird call — short, pleasant, and expressive. That’s the idea: press a shortcut, send a well-crafted prompt, get a smart, satisfying reply. Simple and joyful — like a chirp.

Where are We Now

A Quiet Beginning

ChirpChirp started with the essentials, and got them working first. Prompt search and instant paste via custom shortcuts, full editing support, and optional cloud sync — the core experience is already live, stable, and in use.

A Focused Present

Right now, we’re focused on one thing: making the prompt library more useful, more diverse, and more relevant across real-world tasks. We’re working closely with early users, listening carefully, and growing the ChirpChirp community around shared knowledge and practical examples.

A Practical Roadmap

What’s next? Nothing flashy — just features that make real workflows better:

Prompt editing, powered by AI – let the model help refine prompts. We’re not trying to become an AI provider, but smart in-app editing can still boost productivity. If we add this, it won’t be locked behind a paywall — you’ll likely be able to use your own API key or opt into optional paid features.
Blend mode. Input extra info, and either tweak the selected prompt before pasting — or use the prompt to process that info directly (e.g. translate, summarize, rephrase).
Goto mode. Copy the prompt, open a target app (like ChatGPT), and paste — all in one move.
More platforms. Linux, iOS, Android — we’ll go where the demand is.
Input method mode – a seamless typing experience that could one day replace the launcher (though not anytime soon).

ChirpChirp will grow — but always from the same foundation: clarity, speed, and staying out of your way.

Who am I

I’m an independent developer — technically running a one-person company, but more than anything, just someone deeply passionate about AI. I’m not chasing industry disruption or playing the startup game. I simply want to build tools that matter. To be part of this wave, not as a spectator, but as a participant.

Why I Decided to Do This

ChirpChirp started because I needed it — and nothing like it existed. As a developer working closely with AI every day, this tool quickly became essential to my workflow. So I kept building, refining, and using it — until it made sense to share.

What Matters to Me

I want to build for real needs — not for financial narratives. I care about pushing my own boundaries, doing things I’ve never done before, and making tools that are genuinely useful.
