Write docs 4x faster. Without hating every second.

Nobody became a developer to write documentation. But the docs still need to get written — PRDs, README updates, architecture decisions, onboarding guides.

Wispr Flow lets you talk through it instead. Speak naturally about what the code does, how it works, and why you built it that way. Flow formats everything into clean, professional text you can paste into Notion, Confluence, or GitHub.

Used by engineering teams at OpenAI, Vercel, and Clay. 89% of messages sent with zero edits. Works system-wide on Mac, Windows, and iPhone.

What do you do when your inventory is about to "expire"? Most brands quietly slash prices.

But The Whole Truth (TWT), the Mumbai-based health food disruptor, showed us why they are true to their brand name.

Instead of reducing the price of bars nearing their "best before" date, they started sending them into customer orders for free, accompanied by a note.

The brand included two extra bars in orders with a note that turned a logistics problem into a community-building moment.

Why This Worked
Zero Waste, Maximum Trust: They were honest about the product's condition (mentioning it might be "a bit more dry than usual"), and they built more trust than a perfect product ever could.
Emotional Connection: Framing the giveaway as "asking for a favour" makes the customer feel like a partner in the brand’s mission rather than just a consumer.
The "Surprise & Delight" Factor: Unboxing an order to find freebies is great but finding freebies with an honest story attached is unforgettable.
