Voice agent

Microphone is a voice agent. You talk; it writes the brief you would otherwise stall on typing. That brief is the input to everything downstream, which is why the quality of the conversation determines the quality of the test.

What to say

Hold the microphone and describe the idea the way you would describe it to a friend who asked a sharp question. Say who has the problem, specifically enough that you could name three real people. Say what they do instead right now, including the ugly workaround. Say why that fails and what the failure costs them. Say what you would charge.

Apple Notes can sit next to the conversation if that is how you already think. The recording should be the primary source, not a supplement to a document you wrote first.

What comes back

A problem statement — one sentence you would be willing to spend money against. Hypotheses that each name an audience and a claim you can put in an ad. Market research drawn from the same conversation: who else sells a fix, how they describe it, and where the people with this problem already gather.

The detailed version is in the guide on writing a problem statement from a conversation.

What comes next

The conversation is the source for ads and campaigns. Social work comes later, as social media subagents — a handoff, not a second product. The reasoning behind that split is in one voice agent.

Frequently asked questions

What does the voice agent produce?
A problem statement, hypotheses you can advertise against, autonomous market research that ranks which ideas deserve a test, and ad creative in several angles.
How long does a recording need to be?
Two to five minutes of honest description usually produces more usable material than an hour spent formatting a document.
Why is speaking better than typing for this?
Speech keeps you in the register you use with real people. Writing pulls you toward how things are supposed to sound, and the specific detail that makes a claim testable is the first thing lost.
Can I edit what it writes?
You should. The draft exists so you have something concrete to cut. Delete anything that reads like a pitch and keep the sentence you would spend money against.
