The Truth About Voice AI: Wispr Flow’s Tanay Kothari on Habit Formation andBuilding His Own 'Jarvis'

“Part of the reason I push so hard is imposter syndrome. If it went away, I might chill out, and I don’t want that.”

Tanay Kothari, CEO & Co-founder of Wispr Flow


What if speaking to your computer felt as natural as chatting with a friend? That’s the vision behind Wispr Flow, the voice AI rewriting 20 years of clunky dictation tools.

In this episode, David Savage sits down with Tanay to explore:

  • How Wispr cuts typing time in half and even optimises AI prompts

  • The 7 failed iterations before the product that stuck

  • Why habit formation—not hype—drives adoption

  • How long-form speech actually makes LLMs perform better

  • The personal toll: 20-hour days fuelled by imposter syndrome

From a childhood dream of building 'Jarvis' in 2008 to leading one of the fastest-growing AI startups today, Tanay’s story reveals the human ambition and persistence behind making tech truly effortless.
