Talk to your AI tools the way you'd talk to a colleague.
You don't send a colleague a three-word brief. You explain the context, the constraints, what you've already tried. But typing all that into ChatGPT takes forever — so you don't.
Wispr Flow lets you speak your prompts instead. Talk through your thinking naturally and get clean, paste-ready text. No filler words. No cleanup. Just detailed prompts that actually get you useful answers on the first try.
Millions of users worldwide. Works system-wide on Mac, Windows, and iPhone.

An engineering leader who rescued a SaaS startup from 7 years of technical debt, delivering a brand new application in under 12 months, while also scaling health-tech mobile and web platforms through rapid growth. Their unique strength lies in uniting Design, Product, and Engineering to build high-performing teams that ship faster.
They're seeking founders facing slow delivery, mounting technical debt, or teams lacking structure and strong leadership — where they can operate at the intersection of people, product, and technology. |

| " | | There's almost a luxury in not having funding because you attract a certain kind of talent that believes in your vision, as opposed to someone who just wants to get paid. Innovation comes from scarcity | | — Sreyna, CEO & Co-founder of Jaimee.ai |
|
When ChatGPT told Sreyna she should advance her career by telling her boss she's "good at baking and multitasking," she knew something was fundamentally broken. Now she's building Jaimee—the first AI companion built specifically for women. Since recruiting two team members through SkillsRobin in 2023, Sreyna has taken Jaimee from early-stage idea to being funded by Techstars, raising her pre-seed and launching globally across APAC, UK and US. In this candid interview, Sreyna shares: - The advantages of building a team without funding
- The reality of raising as a female, consumer-tech founder in Australia's B2B SaaS-focused ecosystem
- Why despite being founded in Australia, a greater future for Jaimee may lie abroad
