@iScienceLuvr @tankots It's the classic "we made wild tech, then looked to see if there were any users with a problem that could be solved by our solution" - that is poor design. I see it a lot in startups. The winning move is to identify a problem, then trace it back to the tech - not the inverse.

conviction almost killed our company. for 2 years, we built tech that no one else had ever attempted. but the smartest thing we ever did was walk away from it. my co-founder, sahaj, and i had spent years building a wearable device that could read your brain. the idea: control your phone or computer without saying a word out loud. no awkward "hey siri" in public. just think it, and it happens. the technology was working. but when we finally connected it to siri, alexa, and chatgpt to test it out, we had to face a hard truth: none of us actually wanted to use our own product. walking away from two years of work is one of the hardest things i've done as a founder. but here's what that moment actually taught me: the best product decisions come from humility, not conviction. you can spend all the time you want designing something perfect. but the most valuable thing you can do is ship a quick experiment, feel it yourself, and be willing to acknowledge the hard truths. that's how we found wispr flow. not through a grand vision. but from walking into our own office one day and seeing half the team talking to their computers through $10 mics and realizing: the behavior change was already happening. we just had to get out of the way and build around it. if you're building something and wrestling with when to stay the course versus when to change direction, i think you'll find something useful in this one. link to the full podcast in comments!

I just came across an insane stat: 60% of office workers have an injury that nobody talks about. Take a look at your hands right now. Chances are they're slightly curled, even when resting. Maybe your wrists ache. Your neck tilts forward without you noticing. This isn't normal. It's what 8 hours a day at a keyboard does to you. Repetitive Strain Injury affects 60% of office workers. Carpal tunnel cases doubled in the last decade. The average knowledge worker types 50,000-80,000 keystrokes per day. Your job is literally breaking your body. Yet we're all acting like this is just the cost of doing business. Here's what we're all missing: You can't ergonomic-accessory your way out of fundamentally broken input. The problem isn't your posture. It's that we're forcing humans to spend 2,000+ hours per year in a position our bodies were never designed for. Hunt-and-pecking through emails. Switching between keyboard and mouse 200 times an hour. Craning forward because the screen is always too far or too close. Meanwhile, we have the technology to change this. What if you could write that email while pacing? Draft that doc while stretching? Respond to Slack without ever touching a keyboard? That's why we built Wispr Flow. Not basic speech-to-text that makes you edit for 10 minutes. Actually clean, structured output. In any app. Without your hands. You talk like a human. It outputs like you typed it perfectly. We spent years building the AI that understands context and intent. Not just transcribing words, but capturing what you actually mean. Because knowledge work shouldn't require physical sacrifice. Your brain does the thinking. Your voice does the input. Your body stays intact.

@noheeriye @shilpiagrawal55 I know we've been facing the same issue with the new Figma redesign. We're going to make it movable shortly, but in the meantime you can go to the settings and hide the Flow bar. Wispr will still work, but it just wouldn't show persistently on the bottom.

We've raised $6.5M to kill vector databases. Every system today retrieves context the same way: vector search that stores everything as flat embeddings and returns whatever "feels" closest. Similar, sure. Relevant? Almost never. Embeddings can’t tell a Q3 renewal clause from a Q1 termination notice if the language is close enough. A friend of mine asked his AI about a contract last week, and it returned a detailed, perfectly crafted answer pulled from a completely different client’s file. Once you’re dealing with 10M+ documents, these mix-ups happen all the time. VectorDB accuracy goes to shit. We built @hydra_db for exactly this. HydraDB builds an ontology-first context graph over your data, maps relationships between entities, understands the 'why' behind documents, and tracks how information evolves over time. So when you ask about 'Apple,' it knows you mean the company you're serving as a customer. Not the fruit. Even when a vector DB's similarity score says 0.94. More below ⬇️

@joshitanmay26 @WisprFlow Hey, can you double-check if you downloaded the right app, there's another phishing app by Butterfly AI LLC that is trying to market itself with the same name as ours.

We offered 5 people a Porsche 911 GT3 RS if they could get @WisprFlow to make a mistake It's the fastest and most accurate AI voice dictation app that's 3x more accurate than ChatGPT, Claude, or Siri. Today, we’re finally launching on Android. Download now: play.google.com/store/apps/det… As a part of the launch, we’re giving away 6 months of Wispr Flow Pro for free. Like, retweet and comment ‘Wispr Flow’ to get it. Enjoy. — Written with Wispr Flow

tbh most people are just switching to an Android phone now. Wispr on Android is 10x better: wisprflow.ai/android
Aryaman@aryaman_tweets

@tankots is there any way to make the experience smoother on a mobile device? I personally use @WisprFlow on my MacBook all the time, but it seems inconvenient to switch my mobile keyboard every time I want to use it on my iPhone

@tankots Dude, I love flow. I don't think I've ever used something where I was this excited to pay for it when the trial ended.

@sanketnadhani That shouldn’t happen. We’ll take a look at what might happening here. We have a single model that everything runs through

Does Wispr Flow downgrade you to a cheaper model when you use it daily? The accuracy started off great, but now I have to make a lot of edits.
