Ben Tossell uses the Lex editor to help with the writing process for his Ben’s Bites Pro blog posts. Specifically:
- He copies the draft versions of his blog post into Lex, including drafts generated by different AI models like Claude, GPT-4, and Gemini.
- Lex allows him to track different versions of the draft as he iterates and refines it using AI assistance.
- Towards the end of the writing process, he runs the ”AI run checks” feature in Lex, which provides suggestions on brevity, readability, modernizing language, etc. Ben can then accept or reject these suggestions as he finalizes the blog post draft.
- Ben mentions that he especially likes Lex’s versioning capability, which allows him to go back and forth between drafts, see AI-generated suggestions, and incorporate his own writing and thinking into the final piece.
So in summary, Lex serves as Ben’s primary writing tool that enables seamless AI-assisted drafting, versioning, and polishing of his long-form blog content for Ben’s Bites Pro.
