ShipCopy beta testers wanted: does this sound like a human wrote it?

A developer is seeking beta testers for ShipCopy, a tool that generates launch copy for indie developers across platforms like landing pages, Product Hunt, Reddit, and X. The tool aims to produce copy that does not sound AI-generated, using a FastAPI app with an open model backend and a rules engine based on real launch post structures. The developer invites feedback to identify where the output still sounds robotic.

I built a tool that writes launch copy for indie developers. Landing page, Product Hunt post, Reddit thread, X thread. You give it one product description, it writes all four.

Here's the problem I need help with: the whole point of this tool is that the output does NOT sound like AI wrote it. Because if a Reddit post reads like ChatGPT, it gets ignored. If a Product Hunt tagline reads like a press release, nobody clicks. Developers can smell machine writing instantly, and they downvote it.

I can't judge my own output objectively anymore. I've read too much of it. So I'm looking for a few people to try it and tell me where it still sounds robotic.

It's a FastAPI app using an open model backend, with a rules engine built from how real launch posts are structured (PH tagline limits, Reddit self-promo rules, the "hook first" thread format). The beta is free: one landing page generation per visitor, and clicking the other tabs generates each platform on demand.

I'll reply to every comment. This is a real beta, v0.1, definitely rough edges. That's why I need your eyes.

Comments or DMs both fine.
