Telegraph operators developed a terse, efficient writing style to save on transmission costs. An AI writing assistant could help modern writers learn and emulate this style, with adjustable brevity levels. Authors exploring historical fiction or academics studying communication history would pay for this niche tool. Start with a simple web app offering basic telegraphese conversions, then add historical context and examples. The risk is limited appeal outside historical writing enthusiasts.
