Unleashing the power of voice in the AI age

I never liked voice interfaces. I didn't imagine I'd be doing this, speaking into my phone while nobody else is around. But I think the reason why I've increased my use of voice is a couple of reasons. For one, I have become comfortable giving instructions to my Alexa. And that was a lightweight way of getting me onboarded into using my voice as an interface.

And two, with the rise of AI, I know that my voice has a lot more dexterity. And it can be recorded and transcribed and reused in different ways using apps like I'm using right now called Voice Notes or Whisper or Descript.

So I think the fun part about this age of AI is the ability to now use voice in a multimodal way where I can not only use it to communicate or instruct, but also really download all of my thinking and then have it transformed into various other formats from text to video to images.

I even used Manus to think of an idea using voice and it actually made a first version of that app for me while I was just walking around. So the power of voice has really been, let's say, unleashed and there's a lot more potential over there.
