Décrivez votre projet en quelques mots

Silvertung is an app inspired by human creativity powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI), on Silvertung users will be able to create short and long text-based content then have AI voices, or their own voice read the text.

01.01 Décrivez votre startup en détail

On Silvertung users will have the option to create a short tung which is similar to a tweet (twitter) however users will be able to add an AI voice or use their own voice to read the text for other users effectively creating audio posts to share with others on the platform, also on Silvertung users will be able to create long tungs which are similar to writing your own story or your own book, however on Silvertung users will have the ability to add their own voice or AI voices to read the entire passage, or have separate AI voices read separate paragraphs, effectively creating audio books/ audio comics to share with others on the platform. Silvertung will also strive to the number one online bookshop around the world as users will have the ability to purchase already existing books and have the ability to turn them into Audio books.

01.02 Quel est le problème principal que vous essayez de résoudre ?

With the rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI) in the world, a common trend we here at Silvertung have noticed how AI has begun to take creativity away from people leaving artists worrying about the future especially writers/authors who have also had to contend with their form of media being viewed as less entertaining than visual based media, which will inevitably lead to future generations being less interested in text-based media resulting in less authors/writers in the future. Silvertung seeks to modernize text-based media by giving people the option to read text-media or to listen to text-based media resulting in a new platform one never seen before that will look to give creativity back to people and use AI to enhance their creations putting an emphasis on text-based media in order for to grow and inspire the writers, authors and readers of the future.

01.03 Dites-nous quels sont les principaux avantages et/ou bénéfices de l'utilisation du produit/service fourni par votre startup (au moins 3).

The major benefits of using Silvertung is having the option to both read or to listen posts/ books or comics allowing you to no longer be limited to looking at a screen or reading the text to understand/consume the context, now you will spend time doing other things such as cooking whilst listening to others' opinions or other books/ stories or comics. Silvertung will also benefit writers as its easy-to-use voice altering AI will allow them to bring their stories more to life as they will be able to assign certain voices to the characters within their story, another benefit users will have when using Silvertung is the voice to text feature we plan to implement which allow users to longer spend typing their thoughts they can just speak into the microphone and the text will write itself.

01.04 Veuillez décrire précisément à qui s'adresse le produit/service de votre startup. Quels sont les bénéficiaires visés ?

Our app is mainly targeted to the youth of the world as we understand that they are the future of our generation and we would to inspire the next generation to be more inspired by text based media (mainly reading) as this medium has the capability to both educate as well as entertain the masses, our app will also allow for the spread of current affairs( news) around the world as well as others reaction to the news with the added advantage to listen to or to read the news and others reactions.

06.08 Justification

When looking at Silvertung the first thing that comes to mind is how unique the app as there is no app like it in the world, whilst their apps that are similar to Silvertung, but are not exactly the same as Silvertung is an improvement on the apps that are similar which are Twitter and Wattpad. Whilst Silvertung main purpose is for the sharing of people's opinions and the stories they create there are many uses to our services that we did focus on such as the app being used promote one's business or other businesses.

06.09 Analyse compétitive

Silvertung has been inspired by combining two separate apps into one and adding Artificial Intelligence to the finished product, these two apps are Twitter and Wattpad, as our Short tung format is similar to the format of a tweet and Long Tungs is similar to the main purpose of Wattpad which is stories created by people. Whilst Silvertung takes inspiration from these two apps what makes us stand is the ability for users to listen to others "tweets" and long stories as they will be able to add their own voice to read the text or opt to use a AI voice, furthermore our app will use a speech to text feature which is not avaliable on either twitter or Wattpad, which results in less time spent time typing the text.
