Hold a hotkey or the mouse and talk. When you let go, the filler words are gone, the sentences are tidy, and the finished text lands right at your cursor.
Five steps to build a company knowledge base with RAG
RAG is the most common approach today: split documents into chunks, retrieve the most relevant ones for each question, and let the model compose the answer.

Not a raw transcript —
the message you meant to send.
These four were run through the real product pipeline: said casually on the left, Typefree’s clean-up on the right.
Struck-through parts are filler words and false starts that got removed.
I can come Friday afternoon, no wait, not Friday, it's Thursday afternoon, anytime after 3 — can you set it up?
Thursday afternoon, anytime after 3 works for me — can you set it up?
So I've actually realized lately that working from home isn't that efficient for me, because, um, the environment's just too familiar and relaxed, and I keep getting, like, distracted while working—fiddling with this, fiddling with that, going to the bathroom, getting some water, just easily distracted, so my efficiency's pretty low. Because I noticed when I'm at a cafe outside, I'm way more focused, way more efficient, get more done too. So I'm planning to, that is, just go work at a cafe from now on, should be better. And my upstairs neighbor happens to be renovating lately, so it's kinda noisy at home.
I've realized lately that working from home isn't very efficient for me. The environment is too familiar and relaxed, so I keep getting distracted—fiddling with one thing, then another, getting up for the bathroom or a glass of water—which drags down my productivity. At a cafe, by contrast, I'm far more focused and get a lot more done. So I'm planning to work from a cafe from now on. It should help—especially since my upstairs neighbor has been renovating, so home's been pretty noisy.
Can you fix this login page — uh no, don't overhaul it, first look at why the button keeps spinning. Then if the frontend state isn't resetting, fix the frontend; if the API isn't responding, add the error message. Also don't touch the signup page, and run the tests at the end.

Talk, ask and translate —
without letting go of the mouse.
Hold the mouse to talk. Don’t want to remember a hotkey? Hold the mouse in any text field for about half a second and start talking. Need to let go mid-sentence? Drag down a little to lock, then click ✓ when you’re done. Changed your mind? Drag far away and let go when it glows red.
See something unclear? Hold and ask. No window switching, no copying. Hold the mouse on empty space and ask; the answer appears in the top-right corner. Hold the answer to follow up, or pin it to keep it.
End with “in Chinese” — and that sentence is Chinese. Commands are matched by rule, not guessed by a model. You can also set one output language on the Explore page, so you never have to say it.
The more you use it, the better it knows your words. Correct a misheard name or product once, and it’s recognized next time. You can also add words to your vocabulary.
Everything else you might want to tweak is in Settings
- Clean-up model
- Auto · quality first or speed first — or choose “No polish” for the raw transcript
- Personal vocabulary
- Add names and products that get misheard; a set of tech terms is built in
- History
- Retry, edit the text or export the audio for any entry
- How long to keep it
- 24 hours, a week, a month, or everything — your call
