alt Hacker NewsI am someone that prefers a slack message to a coworker than talking to them and I use AI.
My current flow is: Google Eloquent to capture 127WPM (my typing is best case is 65wpm). This lets me get the thoughts out without thinking too much about structure or flow, the same way I would brain-dump type it.
Next I use AI to compress, summarize, and restructure to create a clear coherent message for my peer to read (which is way faster for them).
When communicating with AI, its the same thing, except I skip the second step since AI does a good job at understanding my ramblings.

It drives me crazy that some cultures only send voice messages to each other. It drives me crazy they can't be respectful of my time and use STT+AI to convert their 90 second monologue to a few written sentences.

Slightly off-topic but: does it concern you that you're letting atrophy a very important skill for human communication (organising your thoughts and ideas, and then clearly communicating them to others)?
I would find this behavior extremely aggravating from a co-worker. If you can’t be bothered to edit down your ramblings by hand, just don’t send me anything at all.
What did you do prior to 2023?

I have used Whisper to transcribe audio into text in the past. You could probably build a pipeline for that, whether running locally or in the cloud - and the run the transcription through the same summarization agent.
