R.I.P. Computer Keyboard (1964 – 2025)

from Possible · host Reid Hoffman

In this special live episode of Possible, Reid and Aria sit down with Wispr Flow founder and CEO Tanay Kothari to explore a post-keyboard future where voice becomes the primary way humans interact with computers. From building one of the world’s first voice assistants as a child to creating a product now used the world over (with, as of publish, 70% user retention after one year and daily users at over half of the Fortune 500), Tanay shares how Wispr Flow removes the cognitive friction of typing and restores natural communication to our digital world. The conversation touches on increasing accessibility to AI, emotional tone in digital communication, and why speaking to computers may ultimately be more human than typing ever was. And shortly into the conversation, Tanay puts his tech to the test in a live demo that pits a 110-words-per-minute typist against Wispr Flow in a dramatic battle of speed and accuracy. This episode showcases what is possible in a future where technology fades into the background and nudges people to become more present in the real world. A big thanks to Sean Mendy and the Westbound Equity Partners, and David Stiepleman and the Sixth Street Partners for hosting the conversation. And a shout to Isabella Sikaffy and the Florabella Studios team, Marshall Potter and the Push Record team, and Marcus Chua and the Wispr Flow team.
