Hey Product Hunt Community! 👋 I'm Sharon, one of the makers of Shortcut! Today, we're launching Shortcut, an AI-powered assistant that lets you work as fast as you think. By transforming voice into action, Shortcut helps you find answers, organize ideas, and create content—all at the speed of natural conversation. 🤔 Why Shortcut? We spend our days typing and clicking, while our most productive moments happen when we speak—bouncing ideas off colleagues, thinking out loud, or explaining concepts. Yet this natural, fluid way of working vanishes when we face our screens. We built Shortcut to change that. It brings the speed and ease of conversation to your daily work, letting you navigate tasks as naturally as you'd chat with a colleague. 🎯 What Makes Shortcut Different? Unlike other voice tools that force you to learn their language, Shortcut is built to match how you naturally think and speak. Whether you're asking questions or dictating content, just speak naturally—Shortcut gets it. Speed and focus are at our core. While other tools pull you away from your work with lengthy responses and constant context-switching, Shortcut stays with you like a real assistant—delivering quick, precise results while keeping you in your flow. Need an answer? Want to write an email? Shortcut handles it instantly, right where you are. Shortcut integrates with the tools you already use, and is just a keyboard shortcut away. ✨ Work Faster, Think Better: 1. Instant Answers, Zero Search Time Ask anything, anytime – get immediate, precise responses without breaking your flow. 2. Thoughts to Polished Writing Transform spoken ideas into perfectly crafted text that captures your exact meaning and tone. 3. Clarity from Chaos Turn scattered thoughts into structured ideas with an assistant that helps you think clearer and write better. 4. Always There, Never in the Way Access Shortcut with a simple keystroke, wherever you're working. 💪 Ready to Work at the Speed of Voice? We built Shortcut because we believe your best ideas shouldn't get lost in translation between thinking and typing. Our powerful AI and intuitive design ensure your thoughts become actions, instantly. What would you do with the power to work at the speed of voice? Share your thoughts below! 💭

@_sharonyeh_ Shortcut seems like a promising solution for streamlining productivity. I'm particularly interested in how the AI handles more complex, domain-specific language and ensures accuracy in such contexts. Additionally, as Shortcut integrates with a variety of tools, how do you ensure that the user experience remains seamless without creating potential information overload or context-switching challenges? I'd appreciate your insights.

@_sharonyeh_ 🎉 Big congrats to the Shortcut team on the launch! The idea of a tool that streamlines communication coaching is such a game-changer—especially the real-time feedback feature, which sounds incredibly powerful. One question: Have you explored how this could be tailored or adapted to assist people with disabilities? It feels like such a helpful tool that could make a real impact in creating more accessible communication solutions. 😊

@_sharonyeh_ Fantastic! Being able to chat and share ideas like you would with a colleague or friend makes work feel more natural and efficient. It really can help boost productivity! 👍

I'm a big fan of dictation and every since a newborn has been added, I've doubled down on using it - but it can't always act on your behlaf and it feels limited. Feels like shortcut is what I want to do with apps when using diction, excited to try it out!

@gabe We're excited for you to try it out! Definitely let us know how it stacks up against the other dictation tools you've tried :)
Sam @CRANQ
Sounds unreal, I could've used this massively when I was studying...but in actual fact it's probably more useful now in my working life!! Always preferred calls to emails etc. because the volume of info passed on is always far higher by voice - I'm relieved someone has managed to put this into a product though - You've got my vote & perhaps another user :)

I just took this for a spin and was really impressed with the fluid nature of the responses. Really excited to see how I can fit this into my workflow coming up.

@johndatserakis So glad to hear that John, I would be interested in hearing how it fits into your workflow. For me the dictation feature is best when I'm feeling stuck or struggling to get started writing something.

This could seriously boost productivity! How does it handle complex requests—can it summarize long docs instantly?

This tool makes it super convenient to talk with the LLM, just leave it open and use a shortcut key, and start talking! Also super useful for transcription - I can just click on the dictation tab and start talking!

I'm very impressed with Shortcut. I use a lot of AI speech to text tools for my everyday work. The technology ias an important part of my workflow, and I've come to take it for granted. I was keen to give Shortcut a spin, and it's exceeded my expectations. I really like the realtime flow of words in the dictation feature. The assistant is also smart and conversational. Shortcut has already earned its place in the dock on my MacBook. Thank you for a great app. I'm using it right now to dictate this comment!

@gussilber That's awesome! I'm very happy to hear it. Thanks for sharing the details. As you keep using it, we would love to hear if there are particular things you like or dislike, or something you wish was different or would like to add. We are continuously improving the tool and thinking about future possibilities. //created by Poised

@zachary_dewitt Maybe not a feature, per se, but my favorite use case is being able to ramble and use Shortcut to make sense of that – whether it's converting my rambling into concise written text, or helping me think through and refine my ideas. That was my personal "wow" moment – I no longer have to think about how to phrase my thoughts before speaking or writing them. I could really just say everything that comes to mind and Shortcut handles the rest!
