About this tool

Key capabilities

  • Voice dictation: Dictate text on your Mac, described as 4x faster than typing.
  • Voice control for apps: Control Mac apps with voice commands, with common edits handled by voice.
  • Voice text editing: Fix mistakes without reaching for the keyboard, for example by saying "scratch that" or "new paragraph".
  • Calendar management: Read, create, and reschedule events in Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar.
  • Coding task delegation: Hand tasks to a coding agent that reads and edits a repo and returns a diff you can read inline (in early access).
