R.I.P. Computer Keyboard (1964 – 2025)

The podcast explores the shift towards voice-based computing, questioning why keyboards remain the primary interface. Tanay Kothari, founder and CEO of Wispr, discusses his company's AI-powered voice assistant, Flow, designed to make technology more accessible and intuitive. He argues that voice interaction reduces cognitive load and allows for a more natural flow of thought, referencing Wispr Flow's high rate of zero-edit messages as evidence. The conversation touches on the potential for voice to enhance AI prompting, improve accessibility for diverse users, and even foster more emotional and human connections in digital communication. Kothari envisions a future where technology fades into the background, freeing people from screens and promoting real-world engagement.
