Drop 4/15: Announcing the Voice Arena Dictation Bench - the first open benchmark of AI dictation apps.
Not their APIs: the real apps. We played 761 recordings from 87 speakers into each of 10 apps on a Mac, then 5 LLM judges asked if each draft could be sent as-is.
Wispr Flow: 79%. Apple: 35% 🧵

One of my favourite charts right now has no Y-axis :)
Can’t share the exact numbers, but that second image is the signup trend for @WisprFlow India since Sep 14, when I started working with @findingnimo_ and the team as Growth Advisor.
The interesting bit for me was the problem. Wispr had already done a lot of the hard brand work in India — strong recall, real love within the right audience, a great launch. The next job was turning more of that attention into actual usage.
So we got to work across partnerships, creators, YouTube and a few other growth motions. One partnership pilot worked well enough for us to now scale it materially. The creator engine is getting much tighter around who we work with, what story we tell, how we measure it and where we double down.
Touchwood, the curve has started moving in the right direction.
It keeps reinforcing something I believe more strongly every week: growth advice only matters if it survives contact with execution. “Do influencers” or “find partnerships” is easy. Knowing who, what narrative, what economics, what measurement, when to kill it and when to push harder is where the actual work starts.
Very glad to be doing this with Nimisha + the Wispr India team. A lot more to build from here.
We’re also hiring on the India growth side. And if you haven’t tried Wispr yet, FLOWWITHPS gets you 3 months of Pro.
Also, if you have a genuinely sharp idea that can move Wispr in India, send it my way. If we love it, we might just build it with you.
I believe reading is one of the most important skills a child can build. So at the start of this month we launched Read, a monthly science & maths read for kids.
In under a month: 1,000+ users and 4 school integrations. Here's what we've been up to https://t.co/mQ1v9GWUvS.
Some moments make you stop and think "where am I?"
I grew up in Delhi dreaming of building technology that millions of people couldn’t live without.
Recently, I returned to New Delhi as a speaker at The Economic Times World Leaders Forum, and had the honor of meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
On stage, we talked about what it really means to build an AI-native company, and why India’s AI future shouldn’t be a copy of the American playbook.
India is a voice-first country. We talk on our phones, send voice notes, and communicate across dozens of languages. But building for India also means designing for exceptional affordability, local context, high expectations, and the realities of people across different cities.
If we get that right, voice can make technology easier and more natural to use—giving millions of people a simpler way to communicate, create, and get things done.
Thank you to The Economic Times and the ET World Leaders Forum team for bringing together builders, investors, policymakers, and leaders around such important conversations.
I’m also grateful to my fellow panelists and everyone who made the event possible.
To come home, share what we’re building, and meet the Prime Minister of India was a moment I won’t forget.
In India, we have a saying: “Rishte lafzon ke mohtaaj nahi hote.” Relationships don’t depend on words.
Because in India, sometimes “I love you” sounds like:
“Have you forgotten us now that you’re out exploring the world?” or “I hope you’re keeping up with your physiotherapy after the surgery!”
We don’t always say exactly what we feel. A best friend pulls you into a hug without explaining why. A partner disguises care as a casual reminder.
The words may struggle to come out.
But expressing them shouldn’t feel like work.
That’s what I love about this film, and about Wispr Flow. It makes communication feel seamless, especially when finding the right words isn’t.

We'd like to clear this up, as privacy is central to everything we do at Wispr:
1) This data is from a small subset of users that have opted into this to improve models.
2) Our onboarding surfaces privacy mode as an option for all users: nothing you say is used for model training.
3) The astroturfing on this platform is getting out of hand
Today we launch the next chapter of Gushwork.
Over the last 30 years, we saw commerce moving online -
But what actually moved online were low value retail products: books, clothing, electronics.
Anything high value, from $5,000 to $1M - a hydraulic crane, an industrial roofing contract, a heat shrink machine - still runs predominantly on human buyer seller conversations.
And conversation was the one thing software couldn't do.
That just changed.
We are bringing 35 million sellers of high value products & services in the physical economy to the agentic web -
One of the largest categories of commerce that barely moved online in the internet before AI.
Welcoming Wispr Flow
as the Dictation Partner for
the World's Largest Hermes Buildathon.
Our partnership with Wispr Flow started back in January during our AI Festival in Goa.
Since then it's become one of the most loved products in the GrowthX community.
We have so much conviction in the product that we wanted every builder at the Hermes Buildathon to experience what it feels like to ship 4x faster without having to type a single word.
Whether it's prompting, talking to your codebase, or writing long PRDs, it just removes a ton of friction.
Excited to partner with them again.
