Wispr Flow founder, whose company is valued at $2B, shares 6 rules for AI product trust

Tanay Kothari, founder of Wispr Flow, distills six trust rules for AI products learned from 100+ prototypes: Infer (learn what users meant and keep it to itself), Suggest (show the change, keep the decision with the user), Clarify (ask instead of guessing), Confirm (say what you'll do and wait), Wait (hold off when context is thin), Act (apply learned preferences like name spellings).
Context: Kothari built a voice assistant with 2.5M users at age 11; his company is now valued at $2B. Hard-won lessons: a browser extension taught them Wispr had to work in every text box; a more capable desktop app taught them features don't matter if the product can't keep up with how fast you think—and personalization is what earns trust. "The moment you can stop double-checking a product is when you know it's become personalized."
