The Rise of Voice-Controlled Workspaces

The lines between traditional office setups and futuristic call centers are blurring, thanks to the growing use of dictation apps like Wispr. These tools, which can be connected to coding tools, are changing the way we interact with our computers, raising questions about what this means for office etiquette.

Entrepreneurs Embracing the Future of Work

Gusto co-founder Edward Kim has already made the switch, claiming he only types when absolutely necessary. However, he admits that constantly dictating in the office can be "just a little awkward." AI entrepreneur Mollie Amkraut Mueller has also noticed the impact on her personal life, with her husband growing annoyed by her habit of whispering to her computer. To avoid distractions, they now work in separate offices or sit apart during late-night sessions.

"It will all seem normal one day," said Wispr founder Tanay Kothari, echoing his optimism about the future of work. As we become more accustomed to staring at our phones, it's likely that voice-controlled workspaces will become the new norm.
