Talking to your AI, I hope I’ve been waiting for this. The hackathons are a good sign. The gatherings and curiosity. The general chatter. But now, it’s beginning to result in actual inspiration and creativity. Creating stuff because you can. Not because it’s a billion dollar idea. But simply because it’s an idea. And you can. Like [Doing](https://doing.tools/). Doing is the latest from [Brian Ellin](https://www.linkedin.com/in/brianellin/) who has been [part of this community for a while](https://siliconflorist.com/2017/01/05/attracting-growth-stage-talent-cozy-hires-twitter-medium-alum-vp-product/) — Janrain, Twitter, Medium, Cozy, Ride Report… So what is he — ahem — doing with Doing…? > SuperWhisper, Wispr Flow, and Doing all transcribe speech on a Mac. They all support AI post-processing, custom dictionaries, and transcript history. The differences are in how they work and who they’re built for. > > Doing is the only Mac voice transcription app that combines fully local processing, a one-time $49 price, no account requirement, and built-in screenshot capture — all designed specifically for people who spend their day talking to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and Claude Code. If you happen to have a spare upvote laying around, doing launched on [Product Hunt](https://www.producthunt.com/products/doing) today.
