PlayAI (YC W23)
The Kettle Editor is the PlayAI v1.0, an AI voice generator and text to speech synthesis platform. Led the Research, Design System, and Interface Design driving in 200k+ MAU, and increased 5% paying customers conversion rate.
Reimagined and Redesigned the Legacy Editor by taking it away from a single-column layout to a multi-column layout in order to facilitate a more friendly and usable user experience upon adding more paragraph level and text level functionalities like audio regeneration (for creators to play with different samples before choosing a final version) and tonal customization.
