What it is

Hold a key and speak, then AI-polished text appears at your cursor in any app.

Real use case example

"A solo developer named Emma wants to write a blog post faster. She holds down a key, speaks a draft, and releases โ€“ AI-polished text appears at her cursor. Emma saves 2 hours of writing time."
