Typing vs speaking to AI

When we type to AI, our brain does something frustrating

When we type our prompt, our brain does something frustrating:

  • It automatically strips away context.

  • Removes crucial details.

  • Oversimplifies everything.

Why? Because typing is painful. Our brain is literally hardwired to minimize it.

Look at these two real prompts to DeepSeek (from the same person):

Typed:

"Write cold email to VP Sales SaaS company for [my product]"

Typed prompt

Spoken via AudioAI:

❝

"Um, so I need to write a cold email to this VP of Sales I found on LinkedIn... she's leading this really interesting SaaS company that's doing employee engagement stuff. I saw they just raised their Series B, and uh... they're expanding into Europe, which is perfect timing because our platform just launched there. Oh, and I noticed from her recent posts that she's really passionate about AI in sales... yeah, and she actually wrote this great thread about how most sales teams are doing it wrong... actually that could be a good angle to connect on..."

spoken prompt

See the difference?

The spoken version naturally included all the information a “good prompt” would have.

Your brain knows all this context. But when you type, it gets filtered out because... well, who wants to type all that?

That's why we built AudioAI to work everywhere:

- DeepSeek

- ChatGPT

- Claude

- Gmail

- Any website with an input field

Just click, talk naturally, and watch how much better AI understands you.

(or search “AudioAI” in the Chrome Web Store).

How you can help

We soft-launched it 3 months ago, it was buggy back then. Now, we’ve made it production-ready (just make sure your mic settings are correct).

If this doesn’t fit any of your use cases, I’d love it if you could support our launch.

Here’s how you can help:

  • Engage with our launch posts to help them reach a wider audience:

"DeepSeek is CCP spyware!" "It thinks it's ChatGPT!" Who cares? It just wiped $1T off the US market. At less than half the cost. But forget which AI to use…

  • Share this email with anyone you know uses AI extensively.

(Thanks in advance)


Hit reply and let me know if you notice the difference. I'm curious how much extra context you catch yourself including when speaking vs typing.

Talk soon,

PS: The extension has a generous free tier (per month), and yes, it works amazingly well with DeepSeek (our current favorite combination).
