The keyboard is starting to lose to the speed of thought. Voice prompting—powered by Whisper-era workflows—is turning speech into structured, ready-to-send output, but it raises new questions about privacy, trust, and control.

I’m seeing a new constraint in the mobile market: it’s not just building features fast—it’s getting updates through App Store review on time.
