What we kept pushing on in Typeahead 2.0 was the exact moment the help appears. Timing, placement, control, app context, local performance and the ability to ignore a suggestion all had to work together. The suggestion has to show up right inside the sentence, at the cursor, in the app you're already using. That's the standard we've been building toward.

@nickventuri Exactly! That's why V2 lets you control the timing and frequency of suggestions per app, so it always fits the way you type ⌨️

@SamAsante if the timing is off it feels like someone talking over you

@lucas_orz No discount codes at the moment, but we do offer a money-back guarantee so trying it is risk-free!

@SamAsante Are there any discount codes for Typeahead?

Building Typeahead from -1 to revenue changed my definition of an AI-native company. Today we’re releasing Typeahead 2.0 on Product Hunt. It is the first product from the new company I am building that people can buy. producthunt.com/products/typea… For months, I have been writing publicly about using AI to do better product and marketing work. The work has ranged from audience research to positioning, websites, launch systems, content, and demos. Typeahead is where we put those ideas under pressure. The product started with a belief. AI is going to move closer to the work. Cloud AI is already part of my daily workflow. Local AI is where I think a lot of personal software starts to feel different. That is the bet behind Typeahead. We wanted AI writing help at the cursor, inside the apps where writing already happens. Getting there took more than building the app. First, the thesis had to become positioning people understood. From there, the positioning had to become a website that could sell. Demos needed to make the behavior obvious. Launch materials had to make the bet legible. And the product had to become something people could actually buy. AI helped with all of that. It helped us research the audience, test angles, shape pages, create assets, draft copy, pressure-test the story, and move through weak versions faster. The surprise was where the work got harder. AI made more directions possible. That meant our taste had to get sharper. We had to decide what was true, what sounded like us, what customers actually cared about, and which details deserved more time. As the product improved, the launch got sharper. The loop got tighter. That is the lesson I keep coming back to. AI-native company building is about shortening the distance between learning and shipping. Research sharpens positioning. Positioning shapes the website. The website exposes what people understand. Demos make the product promise visible. Feedback changes what gets built next. Each pass leaves better evidence and a higher bar. Typeahead 2.0 is the clearest result of that loop so far. It is AI autocomplete for every app on your Mac. You type where you already work. A suggestion appears inline. You accept what helps and keep moving. It runs locally, works offline, and keeps your writing on your device. The first version proved people understood the behavior. This version is faster, more native, easier to control, and much closer to the product we wanted from the start. For me, this launch is proof of two beliefs. AI-native companies are going to learn and ship differently from day one. Local AI software is going to matter a lot more than people think. We are live on Product Hunt today. I would love for you to take a look and tell us what you think. producthunt.com/products/typea…

@natinati1905 Great user experience is always a top priority for us!

@SamAsante This is a really thoughtful UX direction.

@JBerri0s Appreciate you Joshua! It's a blessing to get to work on products that help people alongside such a great co-founder 🙌

@SamAsante This is looking great brother. God Bless you and your co-founder on the Product Hunt launch.

@reizzlla Glad you like it! Timing is everything, and making it feel seamless was exactly the goal.

@SamAsante That in-sentence timing is everything Sounds so seamless.

@AliceInfoAi You got it exactly, thanks Alice! Right at the cursor, right in the moment, that was the whole standard. Glad it landed 😃

@SamAsante Typeahead 2.0 gets help exactly when and where you need it Right in your sentence, right at the cursor

@greggilbertme Thanks Greg! However we ended up connected, glad we are. Really appreciate the kind words, right back at you 🙏

@SamAsante Hey Sam! Can't remember if we chatted before or how we got to following each other. Typeahead looks really cool! God bless!

The AI surface most people are sleeping on is the computer they already use all day. Open apps, half-written drafts, recent messages, nearby files, and visible intent all live there. That matters because useful AI is usually about timing. Help is better when it shows up inside the work, at the moment you can use it, with the context already in front of you. That is why Sam and I started with the Mac. Typeahead is our first product from that thesis.

@chrismaddern @hnshah This is the whole thesis for us. The everyday, high-frequency stuff is where local AI really earns its keep. Lots more to build here.

@hnshah @SamAsante with hindsight.. this has been greatly missing for a while! good integration of existing capabilities with 100x+ daily uses seem like an area full of opportunity

Today @samasante and I are releasing Typeahead 2.0 on Product Hunt. Sam and I started this company because we think local AI software is going to become a much bigger part of how people use their computers. Typeahead is the first product from that thesis. The first version made the idea clear. AI autocomplete should work in the apps where writing already happens. Since then, we have been shipping toward the product that idea deserves. The app feels faster and more natural. Suggestions are easier to control. The experience is more native to the Mac. It's getting better at staying out of the way until the exact moment it can help. That matters because writing is personal. The best AI writing help keeps you in the sentence. You stay in flow and keep your voice. The machine helps without taking over. Typeahead works across your Mac, runs locally, works offline, and is built to feel like software you own. We’re live on Product Hunt today. producthunt.com/products/typea…

@nickventuri @hnshah It's designed to be as energy efficient and light on memory as possible! Try it and let us know what you think
