Making the Share Feel More Like You
Over the past few weeks, we’ve been reworking one of our more understated tools at LexBlog—the social share interface built into the LouAI sidebar. On the surface, it’s a simple feature: take a post and send it out into the world. But like most things in a product, what happens at the edges makes the experience either frictionless or frustrating.
We started this work because the original version felt clunky. It forced users to pick one platform at a time and offered no real way to guide the AI-generated summaries. It worked, but it didn’t feel intuitive, and more importantly, it didn’t sound like the person sharing.
So we changed that.
The first shift was consolidating all the platforms into a single view. Instead of jumping back and forth between options, publishers now see Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and more, including Bluesky and Threads, which were recently added to the mix. It’s simple, scannable, and faster.
Next, we added a prompt field — a new LouAI feature just above the summary box. It’s easy to miss at first glance, but it adds something we’ve been missing: control. With just a few words, a publisher can influence the tone and structure of the generated summary:
“Make this sound more casual.”
“Add a touch of humor.”
“Keep it sharp and confident.”
That little nudge lets LouAI shape the content in a way that sounds more like you. And that’s where the tool starts to feel right.
We also spent time fine-tuning the language in the UI. Labels like “Account Type” didn’t make sense without context. So we reworded them to better reflect what’s actually being selected — whether it’s a personal profile or a firm-level account—small thing, but essential. When a tool is invisible in the best way, you know the labels are doing their job.
None of this work was revolutionary, but that’s kind of the point. It was about clarifying, tightening, and removing friction, making a tool that doesn’t just work but works in a way that feels human.
As LouAI continues to grow, these refinements matter because tools like this should help people sound more like themselves, not less.
