Shhh… This Might Be the Fastest Way to Use AI Right Now

Don’t Type It. Say It.

I didn’t realize how much time I was losing to typing until I stopped.

Not in some dramatic way. Just in the middle of normal work. Answering questions. Writing prompts. Trying to get thoughts into something usable.

It always felt like I was moving fast. But I wasn’t.

I was just slowing everything down one sentence at a time.

This week I added something new to my stack: Wispr Flow.

Check out their website - download the app here.

I heard about it on a podcast, downloaded it without thinking too much about it, and within a couple of days it started to change how I work.

What stood out right away is that it doesn’t feel like another tool you have to go open.

It just sits there.

On your computer. On your phone. On top of whatever you’re already doing.

You hold the function key, start talking, and it captures everything.

That part isn’t new. We’ve all used voice-to-text before.

What’s different is how it handles what you’re saying.

If you’re thinking in bullet points, it formats it that way. If you’re listing things out, it organizes it. If you’re halfway working through an idea, it cleans it up just enough to make it usable without overdoing it.

It feels closer to translating your thoughts than dictating them.

Where this really clicked for me was when I started using it with AI.

I like having AI ask me a lot of questions when I’m building something out. Not just a couple, but 20 or 30 questions to really force clarity.

Before, I would sit there typing every answer.

You don’t realize how much that slows you down until you stop doing it.

Now I just talk through everything.

No stopping. No editing mid-thought. Just getting it out.

And because of that, I move to the next step faster. Then the next one after that.

That’s the part that connects back to stacking.

It’s not just about adding tools. It’s about removing friction between your brain and execution.

This just happens to remove a big one.

From what I’ve seen, they have a free version that’s enough to get started, and then paid tiers if you’re using it more heavily. It’s not complicated. You’ll know pretty quickly if it fits into how you work.

But this is one of those tools where you don’t really understand it until you try it.

And if you’ve been following along with this idea of stacking, this is a good example of what that actually looks like in real life.

You learn something. You add it in. It connects to what you’re already doing.

Then one day you look up and you’re just moving faster without thinking about it.

That’s the shift.

So don’t overthink it.

Download it. Use it once. See what happens.

That’s usually how this stuff starts.
