Problem
Typing is slow and interrupts the natural flow of thought, forcing professionals to manually translate ideas into text across multiple applications. Existing voice dictation tools often require significant editing, lack cross-app integration, or fail to understand context, making them impractical for everyday work.
Solution
Willow provides an AI-powered voice dictation and keyboard that works anywhere the user can place a cursor. Users press a hotkey, speak naturally, and Willow delivers perfectly formatted text—with punctuation, no filler words, and no copying or cleanup required—directly into any application, including Slack, Gmail, Notion, Cursor, and iMessage. The system is designed for speed, claiming four times faster writing, and includes context-aware formatting that understands meaning rather than just transcribing words. Willow also offers an iPhone app for mobile voice typing and Willow Scribe, an AI writing feature that generates text from user intent. With privacy controls including a default Private Mode and optional opt-in for model improvement, Willow aims to make voice the fastest interface for work communication and creation.
Target Audience
Primary users are professionals across leadership, development, sales, customer support, legal, healthcare, and education who need fast, accurate voice dictation across their existing software stack to accelerate communication and writing workflows.
