You may find it much faster and more natural to write prompts with your voice rather than your hands. Here's how I like to do it.

I can type over 100 words per minute. I've been proud of that for a long time, to the point of—for better or worse—considering it part of my personality.
But there's just something about writing prompts that I find so laborious. It feels like micromanagement. Having to write out a task in full instead of just doing it.
Fortunately, I have found a way to reduce the friction of writing prompts: I don’t write them at all; I say them.
In fact, I barely “wrote” any of this course. The words you are reading right now, I spoke into my microphone and cleaned up with AI. What a time to be alive.
While there are many voice dictation tools available, and your system likely comes with one built in, I have found Superwhisper to be an excellent choice. It's free to try.
Download and install Superwhisper.
Open a new Chat in “Agent” mode and speak something like the following prompt
The title of this project is AI Powered, but it's just a blog for my local bakery. Can you please update any references to AI in this project to My Bakery?The agent should successfully review the project’s configuration files, including package.json and sanity.config.ts, and update the existing “AI-powered” value in both.
If for some reason you're not happy with Superwhisper, there are alternatives that will perform similarly.
- VS Code Speech is an extension by Microsoft for use in VS Code
- Wispr Flow is a similar OS application with some additional features
Now we’re more comfortable with prompting, let’s add some guardrails to the results.
