Tanay Kothari - Wispr Flow

Hey, hey everyone. I'm Tanay, the CEO and co-founder of WhisperFlow. First, I wanna do a quick raise of hands. How many of you here use the product? Okay, that's more than half the room. I don't even need to be here. Uh, for everybody who doesn't know about WhisperFlow yet, super simple. It's smart voice dictation that just works. You say something like, hey, let's meet at 5 o'clock. Actually, no, let's do 5:30. And it actually writes the right thing for you, unlike Siri, or literally any other tool so far. And the reason why we chose to build this is actually we've been working on Whisper Flow for the last 1.5 years, but really this is the problem that I've been spending the last 18 years working on, which is what does the next generation of personal computing look like? 'Cause what I've always wanted to do is build Jarvis. And so for me, this is where we are, and this is where Jarvis is. And the way we really get there is in 3 phases. Phase 1 is you wanna build voice input that just works. It just gets you, it's reliable, you trust it. If you don't have this, nothing else is gonna work on top of that. Phase 2 is Whisper doesn't just write what you say, it's able to do things for you. And that is when you get into actions. That is what a lot of 2026 is gonna be. And finally, we get to a point where I can go to somebody and say, you know this thing you love using on your phone and laptop? Imagine if you didn't even have to take your phone out of your pocket. And that is when Whisper lives on every single smart glasses, smart wearables, rings, watches, everything else as the primary voice OS. And so we're at this point where we finally cracked the voice input part. And the first question I get is, well, there's a lot of other products. They say they have 95% accuracy, 96% word accuracy. Sounds pretty good, right? But this is actually shit because every single 20-word sentence you say, it's gonna make a mistake. And what you want is not 95% word accuracy. What you want is zero edit rate. For everything that you say to be written perfectly so you can just press send. When you measure that, tells a very different story. This is the percentage of mistakes that Whisper makes compared to everybody else. Right now it is the best voice model in the world, 3 times better than the closest competitor, which is OpenAI. And with this, and this is maybe the most important chart for the company, is for the first time we've seen behavior change. Purple is how much people use Flow. Green is how much they use their keyboard. And in the first few months of usage, most people just fully drop off their keyboard and just use Flow. This also shows up in numbers. This is the second most important chart for the company. Been growing well. So far in 2025 since we've launched it, it's the fastest growing, one of the most loved products. One of the best-in-class metrics in terms of consumer retention and enterprise scale-up. And at this point, we're getting so much inbound that we have one salesperson who's not even a trained sales rep, and she's closing 150 new enterprises a week. Last week, closed Meta, Notion, bunch of them names. You can see the list keeps growing. Raised $81 mil so far, bunch of investors. And we're hiring across a number of different roles. The team is extremely lean, super warm, all based in San Francisco, open to remote. And really what I'm looking for are people who wanna be a part of this journey to build the next fastest $200 million company. Thank you.
