Monologue

Effortless, perfect voice dictation → @every product.

[Monologue @usemonologue]

Monologue Notes is here.

Dictation is for when you know where the words are going. A Slack message. An email. A prompt to Claude.

But some of your best thinking doesn’t have a destination yet. It happens on walks, on calls, in 30-minute brain dumps, and in half-formed ideas you’d usually lose.

Notes is for that kind of thinking.

Hit record, let the ideas flow, and turn the transcript into something useful later.

For builders. Makers. Doers.

TL;DR of my new article: every Agentic Engineering hack I know.

This used to be vibe coding. Around last Thanksgiving it got good enough to become something real.

📝 The moment you have an idea → /ce-plan a plan.md, with Compound Engineering by @kieranklaassen + @trevin. Fuzzy? /ce-brainstorm first
🙈 Make the plan, don't read it. Plans are for agents
🧠 Use /ce-plan for your deepest NON-code work too (strategy, specs, research)
🎙️ Get voice-pilled. Talk, don't type (@usemonologue or @WisprFlow)
🪟 Run 4-6 tabs in cmux (@manaflowai), one task each
⌨️ New tabs open straight into Claude or Codex
📱 Remote-control every session + give your agent its own email address on @agentmail
☠️ Dangerously skip permissions. YOLO. It's my computer
🔀 /ce-work --codex: route the build to @OpenAI Codex without leaving Claude
🔎 Run @slashlast30days before you /ce-plan
🥣 @meetgranola everything. Drop the RAW transcript in, don't summarize
✋ You're the taste; the agents are the hands
🎬 Build video in the CLI so an agent can write it (@HyperFrames_ )
📚 Point your agents at your notes + memory (@garrytan's GBrain, @supermemory)
✈️ Work from anywhere: mosh, tmux, @NousResearch's Hermes + @openclaw
📄 Share a plan with a human in Proof by @EveryInc
🛠️ Anything you do twice, write a skill for it. That's the compounding part
🌟 Contribute to the open source you love
🔋 Never-sleep laptop + a battery brick in the bag
🤖 Printing Press by @ppressdev: CLIs that run real life. Tesla, groceries, flights
⚠️ Watch for AI psychosis. Touch grass, talk to the people you love, build things people want (even if people is just you)

🚀 The YOLO TL;DR: paste this whole article into your agent and tell it to make a plan to set ALL of it up, one by one.

wedding planning in the agentic era™:

1. dictate todo list using @usemonologue
2. codex /goal "save my wedding using the google workspace cli"
3. watch 2-3 minute @mainframe video recap with your fiancée

[Monologue @usemonologue]

@miltovi777 you will love the new update then

[Monologue @usemonologue]

Awesome to see Monologue mentioned in the article

[Alex Kirshner @alex_kirshner]

I wrote about the unsexy ways in which AI has gotten into my workflow as a writer who works for myself.

No interest in having it think much less write for me, but transcription/dictation advances are real and so are little workflow hacks to store ideas https://t.co/S1qnznxiJe

[Monologue @usemonologue]

@jhogervorst @rywigs good idea!

[Ryan Wigley @rywigs]

I’d go so far as to say, if you are not using voice yet for a significant chunk of your work

Start building that habit now. I’m in Matt’s camp, 90% of my work is voice to text

Also @usemonologue is all you need

[Monologue @usemonologue]

Monologue was unavailable yesterday evening, roughly 6:15-9:45 PM ET / 3:15-6:45 PM PT on Tuesday, May 19, because of an outage at Railway, our hosting provider.

The service is back now. If anything you tried during that window didn’t go through, please try it again.

We’re already working on moving to a more resilient hosting setup so this kind of provider outage is much less likely to affect Monologue the same way in the future.

Sorry for the interruption

[Monologue @usemonologue]

@seempaq It was for four hours. Sorry about this. It's online now.

I'm in the process of migrating to different hosting provider, and also will make sure this doesn't happen again in the future.

[Monologue @usemonologue]

@DavidWells Sorry, our hosting provider Railway had an outage for four hours. Everything is back to normal. I'm working on making sure this doesn't happen in the future.

ive consistently been at inbox 0 for the last two weeks with the combination of @CoraComputer, @usemonologue, and Codex

codex + cora + mono take care of everything from actually accomplishing todos (like researching questions people ask, or filling out forms) to drafting and sending. i just talk to my computer and everything else is done.

unprecedented levels of awesome

[chekos @ChekosWH]

My favorite workflow now is hitting the shortcut button on my phone to start a Note, rant for however long (tbh sometimes 30mins+), whenever i get back to my desk just ask claude code to check the Monologue notes+transcript and:
- distill the idea
- create a spec
- do something

[Monologue @usemonologue]

Your meeting notes shouldn't be trapped in a mobile app.

Monologue Notes has a CLI and an agent skill – list, search, and pull your transcripts directly inside Codex, Claude Code, or any terminal-capable agent.
