The manifesto

THE KEYBOARD
HAD A GOOD RUN.

For a hundred and fifty years we squeezed every thought through ten fingers and a grid of plastic keys.

But you think in sentences, not keystrokes. You think out loud. You think in two languages at once.

Speaking is the original interface. Saytomo just makes the page keep up.

And it stays faithful — it writes down what you said, not what a model wishes you'd said.

What it does

Four keys.
One you'll press a thousand times a day.

Each action has its own hotkey. Dictation is faithful to what you said. The other three only ever fire when you reach for them.

01

Dictate

faithful by default

Fillers gone. Self-corrections applied. Punctuation added. Your words — never reworded, never "improved." When it isn't sure, it keeps the original.

heard

so um send it to John — no wait, Jane

Send it to Jane.

02

Translate

one step

Speak your language; the words land in theirs. Names, brands and your personal terms stay intact — translated, not mangled.

提醒 Kevin 把 Q3 報告在週五前寄給我

Reminder for Kevin: send me the Q3 report by Friday.

03

Ask

selection-aware

Select anything and talk to it. Rewrite it in place, or get an answer about it on the side. It only replaces your text when it's sure you meant it to.

asked

what does "ablation study" mean?

Removing one part of a model to measure its effect.

04

Polish

opt-in

Off by default. Turn a rambling thought into clean prose — your meaning, your facts, better said. Never your code-switching flattened into one language.

heard

ok so basically we ship the beta next week if QA is happy

We ship the beta next week, pending QA sign-off.

Not just dictation

An assistant, one keypress away.

Everywhere you already work — your editor, your inbox, the browser, the chat window. No new app to switch into. You speak; it acts.

you ▸ translate this to Japanese — done, in place
you ▸ what's wrong with this paragraph? — answered, on the side
you ▸ make this sound less aggressive — rewritten
you ▸ 我们 meeting 改到 three PM — kept, word for word

The origin

What I believe.

I believe we've had it backwards. For as long as there have been computers, we've bent to the machine — its keys, its menus, its pace. I believe it's the machine's turn to bend to us.

I believe voice is the most human interface there is — and that a real assistant shouldn't replace your judgment, but multiply it: more clarity, more reach, more of your own time. A partner, never an autopilot.

And I believe the moment is now. The intelligence finally exists; what's missing is for it to meet you where you already are — in your own voice. That's why I'm building Saytomo.

The vision

Redefining how humans
and machines talk.

For a hundred and fifty years, we've forced our thoughts through our fingertips. The keyboard was never designed for people — it was built for machines. What I'm rethinking is the most fundamental layer of computing: not the chip, not the operating system, but the interface between a human mind and the device in front of it. All this time, we've adapted to the keyboard. It should be the other way around.

Speech is how we were built to communicate. We learn to speak long before we type — it's instinctive, effortless, human. And you speak faster than you type; you even think faster as you speak. Remove the friction between a thought and the page, and your mind runs free: more creative, more inspired, more fluent in your own ideas.

My mission is to make working with your devices as effortless as talking to a close friend — and as fast as thought. When technology becomes truly conversational, something shifts: more clarity, more connection, more agency, with less context-switching. Communicating gets easier, busywork disappears, and what's left is the part that actually matters.

Saytomo is the first step. Hold a key and speak, and your voice becomes polished text in any app — faithful to exactly what you said, in whatever languages you said it in, fast and clean enough to retire the keyboard for most of what you write. But it doesn't stop at replacing your typing. Press another key, ask a question, and Saytomo answers on the spot — it translates, it rewrites, it thinks alongside you. The intelligence of a world-class assistant, riding on a voice that always stays yours.

The keyboard had its century. From here, your voice takes over. And this is only the beginning.

stop typing.
start talking.
