How will work settings change if we spend more and more time talking to our computers? A recent feature in the Wall Street Journal looks at the growing popularity of dictation apps like Wispr, especially now that they can connect to vibration coding tools, and what that could mean for office etiquette.
One VC said visiting startup offices now feels like walking into a high-end call center. AND Edward Kim, co-founder of Gusto He’s apparently telling his team that in the future offices will sound “more like a sales floor.” (As someone still scarred from the time their desk was briefly moved to a sales floor, let me say: Oh no.)
Kim stated that he now only writes when absolutely necessary. But he admitted that constantly dictating in the office can be “a little uncomfortable.”
Similarly, AI entrepreneur Mollie Amkraut Mueller said her husband became annoyed with her new habit of whispering into his computer, so their late-night work sessions now involve sitting apart, or “one of us will stay in our office.”
But Wispr founder Tanay Kothari insisted that all of this will seem “normal” one day, just as spending hours staring at your phone has become normal.
