Slower email responses
Alexis was limited by the keyboard made with 1800s technology designed to prevent typewriter jams, not productivity. With lots of his day spent sending emails, the keyboard became a constant bottleneck for responding to founders and his team.
Interrupted and bottlenecked creativity
The gap between thinking speed and typing speed meant ideas were constantly interrupted, especially when writing out thought processes or brainstorming by chatting with AI.
30 years of broken promises
Alexis tried every voice tool, from Dragon NaturallySpeaking to Siri and Alexa. Every voice tool delivered the same frustrating experience that was never good enough for real work.

Ideas captured
2x faster communication speed
Alexis can now talk instead of type anywhere on his computer. He responds to founder emails, team messages, and social media comments two times faster. The time saved means he can support more portfolio companies in less time.
More creativity and idea flow
Willow lets Alexis match his thinking speed. When he has an idea at 3 AM or needs to brainstorm with AI, he just talks naturally. His thoughts flow straight from his brain to the screen without keyboard friction.
The voice tool that finally works
After trying and being disappointed by voice tools for over 30 years, Willow was the first voice dictation that actually worked. It understands his natural writing style and automatically knows when he's writing an email or text or social post. Willow is such a seamless dictation experience for him that he no longer has to go back and edit dictated text with his keyboard.

"Once you see that return on investment for your time by using Willow, I think you'd be hard pressed to go back. It's a thing that, once you've experienced the power of voice and just dictating your idea into the computer when it works this well, you just never want to go back. "
