Today we're shipping screen-aware dictation. First, we built a speedy speech-to-text (very fast, ~450ms). But, many products do this! So we went further. Now dictate using your screen as context. In Claude Code, it writes the prompt. In G-Mail, it replies in your voice. Demo:

my father always told me: “if you want to go for a run, go for a run, don’t look for company. sooner or later, on your fifth run or your twentieth, like-minded people will find you themselves.” and only recently have i realized that this principle works everywhere.

a secret life hack is that you can literally just say you are something, if you believe that’s who you’re meant to be for example, i decided to put ‘narrative operator’ a few weeks ago in my bio as i started doing work adjacent to it and had a hunch i’d be good at it. wtf is a narrative operator? who knows. but now people come to me for narrative work, and it turns out my instinct was right. i’ve been able to be useful in exactly the kind of work i imagined own your narrative a little before reality catches up. sometimes reality arranges itself accordingly

Going to leave you with this tonight: The best thing you can do for yourself is actively increase your surface area for luck to hit you. Go outside, travel more, go to new cates, museums, events, take a new route home, go for hikes, see cities, countrysides, take your notebook, speak to people, ask questions, start businesses - go on more side quests. You can literally just do things, and the more you do, the more serendipity and synchronicity will find you.

I’m going on what I think is a first date tonight and I’m feeling nervous. What are some good first date questions?

my friend asked if i had any tips for hosting an easy holiday gathering (of course I do!!!) this is an underrated skill - knowing how to bring people together in a low-lift way tips: > common misconceptions: you don't need a million friends, a perfect place, or an overly complicated plan > hosting is as simple as bringing people together for a shared experience with good vibes > not enough people host gatherings anymore (we're in a loneliness crisis ya'll!!) - everyone will be SO grateful that you got them together. challenge yourself!! make it happen!! pick an experience: > casual event ideas: inviting friends out to dinner (your home OR restaurant), sunday morning coffee, picnic in a park, cozy movie night + hot chocolate > holiday season vibes: ugly sweater party, cookie decorating, gift exchange, friendsgiving, and MORE! > you don't need to go over the top for your first one. pick something that genuinely excites you invites: > make a list of everyone you'd love to connect with in your area. coworkers, gym buddies, neighbors, old friends, new friends, that person you met last week, that other person you always say "we should hang!" to > a good event has a balance of old friends + new faces > you don't need to fill all the seats yourself. give people a plus-one option - takes pressure off you AND them > invite the friends you're MOST confident will say yes FIRST and have them RSVP before sending it more broadly so that there is early signs of momentum on the event > send a personalized message to people about why you'd love to see them there - it will help increase RSVP rates!! leading up: > totally ok to have people bring something!! it makes it more fun to have their buy-in > don't worry so much - people will remember the vibe, not the details! they'll remember how you made them feel! > remember to have FUN!!! you're bringing your people together!! you're being a positive contributor to your community!!! you're the reason people will make new friends and have a fun time tonight!!! challenge yourself to host something this holiday season!! don't overcomplicate it - pick a date and send the invite!! people will be honored you invited them!!! you've got this!!!
