I didn't write this email

(and it saves me 90 minutes a day)

Hello Geneva,

I have a confession to make.

This email? I didn't write it.

Well, I did. Just not with my fingers.

I said it. Out loud. While walking to get my coffee this morning.

And what you're reading right now is exactly what came out of my mouth, reworded, structured, without a single typo.

How?

Two tools. One combo. And honestly, my biggest discovery of 2025.

Tool #1: Wispr Flow

I've mentioned it before: 100+ of you tried it, and you loved it!

So I'm bringing it up again today.

Picture this: you talk, and it types. Everywhere. Gmail, Notion, Slack, anywhere.

"Sure, but voice dictation has been around for ages..."

Stop. This is different.

Wispr Flow is black magic:

  • Zero spelling mistakes (even on technical terms)

  • Perfect punctuation: commas, periods, all of it

  • Automatic line breaks when you switch ideas

  • And the craziest part: it cleans up when you stutter or correct yourself

You can say "uh... no wait... actually what I mean is..." and it only keeps the final version.

The result? We speak 3 to 4x faster than we type. If you write for 2 hours a day, that's 90 minutes back. Every day.

You can use it for free right now with the link below:

(it works perfectly in French and other languages too)

Keep pace with your calendar

Dictate investor updates, board notes, and daily rundowns and get final-draft writing you can paste immediately. Wispr Flow preserves nuance and uses voice snippets for repeatable founder comms. Try Wispr Flow for founders.

Tool #2: Claude (or your favorite AI)

Now for the pro move.

Sometimes what I dictate is a bit rough. The ideas are clear in my head, but the words coming out... aren't quite there yet.

So I copy-paste the whole thing into Claude.

And here's the magic: Claude understands what I meant, not just what I said. It rewords, structures, polishes, and gives me back exactly the version I had in mind but couldn't quite put into words.

It's like having a co-author who reads your mind.

(Maybe a bad habit. But way too handy to give up.)

The full workflow:

  1. You talk → Wispr Flow transcribes it perfectly

  2. You copy → Claude rewords and structures it

  3. You send → In 10 minutes instead of 45

Emails, reports, LinkedIn posts, newsletters... Everything.

To try it:

  • Wispr Flow: free to start

  • Claude: you know the drill 😉

Try it on your next email that runs longer than 3 paragraphs. You'll thank me.

See you next week,

Salim

P.S. This email took me 8 minutes. I timed it. The old me would have needed 35 minutes, minimum.
