Tanay is the CEO and co-founder of Wispr Flow, my favorite app to dictate to AI 10x faster than typing. I asked him to do a live tutorial on how to get the most out of AI voice dictation, how his brain-to-text device reads your thoughts without speaking, and how he built an AI product that has 70% annual retention (unheard of!) by NOT focusing on ARR.

Tanay and I talked about:

(00:00) Why typing 5 hours a day is killing your productivity

(06:29) Live tutorial: Using voice to draft emails, write code, and more

(09:19) The brain-to-text device that reads your thoughts without speaking

(16:24) How to teach Wispr Flow your writing style across every app

(22:05) Why Tanay studies gaming instead of software for inspiration

(29:03) "I told my board: We're killing ARR as our North Star metric"

(31:36) Why "agents" is the dumbest term in AI (and what matters instead)

(35:55) What motivated young Tanay to steal his mom's laptop to code
