I have a client where the CEO is, for lack of a nicer phrase, extremely tech illiterate. He will verbally dictate his emails to his EA to have them typed/sent, or give tasking via passing conversations around the office. Rarely are they written down or documented. I am building them a suite of n8n automations to link their existing processes and tools but i would love to build a simple tool that allows the CEO to simply press a button on his phone and/or PC and dictate a task or email, and then have an AI agent on the backend transcribe the audio to text and then parse out action items and drive automated triggers from there (i.e. send an internal email, give a targeted team member a slack message with new tasking/request, drop an email draft in EA inbox for external communications, etc). I have a good idea of how to complete most of the build but im looking for simplest/best ways to set up that initial voice message trigger. QUESTION: Any recommendations on what i can/should use as the voice memo capture tool? I want it to be as simple as possible, ideally; Click Record -> Speak naturally the task or email -> hit stop -> triggers workflow. Is it best to just use something like iphone voice memos or android recorder? Is it possible to make a custom app/interface to put on his phone AND desktop so that he can use either one depending on where he is? Thank you!

Feature wars are unwinnable. Bigger competitors will always have more features. I compete on: - Speed (faster to value) - Simplicity (easier to use) - Focus (better at one thing) - Service (more responsive support) - Price (or premium positioning) Pick dimensions where more resources don't guarantee victory. How do you compete?
