Voice Mode is interesting. Like it's more than Voice to Text right, you instantly apply a prompt to this? Sounds powerful. But I also think just plain transcription like Wispr etc. makes most sense a lot of the time.

Quick question on privacy. I work with some sensitive client stuff and I'd want to know where my text goes when it's processed. Is anything stored on your end or does it just pass through?

Cool product, as someone who built an AI CMS for a blog recently I really see the benefit of not having to switch focus while writing :)

Congrats on the launch! I've been using ChatGPT for most of my writing but honestly this looks awesome. Not needing to switch to ChatGPT for every little thing is great. Can I get started quickly or does it take some time to set things up?

Hey there, happy launch day!

What's been the biggest technical hurdle in making it work reliably across any app (e.g., permissions, text selection in sandboxed apps, or shortcuts/hotkeys conflicts)? And how do you make onboarding feel instant without overwhelming new users?

Also, have you seen users combining voice dictation with text selection for hybrid workflows (like dictating into emails/docs then refining selected parts)?

this looks amazing 🙌
super clean and easy to use :)

been following your journey on twitter... really excited to see this live :)

Building “AI inside any app” usually means heavy OS permissions and lots of edge cases—what tradeoffs did you make to keep it seamless while still earning user trust, and where did you draw the line on what the app will never access or do?

Hey Benedikt,

Tried the app out today , really cool - i just wish it also had transcription like wispr flow

both the editing and transcription today will really increase the stickness of the product

Congrats on the launch! 🔥

Time to get rid of pains on writing elegantly! Btw, how does it differ from those generic embedded AI writing helper in gmail etc?

Love the value proposition and how you make the toolkit usable from anywhere. Solid UX work. A clear agentic replacement to Grammarly. Quality++

Been using this tool for a while. One thing I can say. The UI is superior for me. I love the simplicity and ease of use. That's it. All I need in a good tool.

Congratulations on your launch 🤝 @bennyqp But for teams, is there a way to share prompt toolkits (e.g. brand voice packs) across members? This would be sooo nice for founders and operators who live in email, Notion, Slack, etc. I’m a content strategist, so if you’re planning to position Typeboost beyond PH, I’d be curious how you’re framing it as a productivity tool.

Great stuff. I am interested in trying this over the next weeks and see my prompting efficiency increasing. But one question: are follow-up prompts possible? Or is a user limited to the prior saved prompts to execute? thanks

The "apply custom AI actions directly to selected text" is exactly what's missing from most AI writing tools. I'm constantly copy-pasting between Claude and my editor when writing docs or blog posts. Quick question — does it support custom shortcuts for specific prompts (e.g., ⌘+Shift+E for "explain technical concept simply")?

Very cool - nice to see something using ai personalized and helping get better instead of automated ai spamming on different channels. Is it bring your own key or use yours as saas?

I use Typeboost every single day and honestly can't live without it anymore

I reckon I'm saving like 1-2 hours a day thanks to the shortcuts

Total game changer!

Can't wait to see what's next

I have been using Typeboost for 2 months now, and it is absolutely amazing. 💚

Hi Product Hunt 👋

I’m Benny, the maker of TypeBoost.

I use AI a lot. But it often felt messy: copy-pasting text, switching to ChatGPT, rewriting the same instructions, juggling Gemini, Claude, Apple Intelligence, or whatever. Plus, the better the prompt, the better the result. Which meant: you’d better write a good one. That felt wrong.

What I really wanted was AI inside my workflow. Right inside any app. And full control over how my text is improved. My actions. My style. My prompts. My rules.

So I built TypeBoost for macOS.

It’s not "just another AI assistant".

It’s a personal, fully customizable AI writing toolkit that lets you apply your own prompts directly to selected text, see exactly what changed, accept/reject edits on a granular level. All without breaking focus. Voice input included 🎙️

Once it becomes a habit, it’s insanely productive.

There’s also an iOS app that stays fully in sync. E.g. capture ideas by voice on the go, and they’re waiting for you on your Mac later. Or what ever you need.

I genuinely hope TypeBoost helps you as much as it helps me.

If you’ve got questions, ideas, or feedback — I’m here 😊

Cheers

Benny
