Flow

Flow is the iPhone dictation app Christopher Mims mentions in Making the most of AI, without the hype. Mims says he no longer types text messages and instead uses Flow, which the source says relies on an open-source transcription model first created by OpenAI.

In the wiki, Flow is a concrete example of Voice Interaction moving AI from a chat box into everyday communication. It also supports the episode’s Mundane AI Use Cases frame: replacing typing with voice is not flashy, but it can reduce repeated friction in daily work and messaging.
