Imo it is a question of right tool for the right job, adjusted for differences between people. For me, the use case that made our product click was prompting Cursor while coding. Then I wanted to use it whenever I talked to chatgpt -- it&#x

fair point. offline+local would be ideal, but as it stands we can't run asr and an llm locally at the speed that is required to provide the level of service we want to. given that we need the cloud, we offer zero data retention -- you

Hi! I'm so sorry about that. Will you send me an email (jack@withaqua.com) and we will sort it out! (we'll also fix the support button)

Absolutely, and sorry for the UX annoyances. We'll add a way to quickly share this kind of thing from within the app.

We have thought about this: there are some boring reasons that it doesn't make sense to do right now but I would definitely be interested in learning about your use case and keeping you posted if and when we decide to do it!

Thank you for trying it! Our goal is to make it not just a suitable alternative but way better than your keyboard. Still a lot of work to do, but that is the fun part :)

Thanks Eliot! Let us know how we can make it better for you!

Hah! Excellent question. Somewhere in between (i.e. it is not a p1 right now but "months" is way too long). Give us til after demo day then one of us will sit down and knock it out

Thanks Merik! "It does what it says " is honestly my favorite feedback... 1. Good call on demo page, would be slick to sync that up with account. 2. Subscription exhaustion is a real thing — credits/usage based billing is an

100% agree on speed — there's lots we can and will do to improve that also good point on memory. this turns out to be relevant in a lot of cases!

Patching this now!

Thanks for the feedback! On the last point, you can't see it in the sandbox, but the app has a Strict mode that does what you're looking for

I'm getting married in Scotland in December and will presumably want to be able to demo so you can bank on priority support and a hard deadline :)

Hey! Right now our focus is getting the core tech solid and we can do that much faster if we aren't juggling multiple platforms and plugins (we learned this the hard way), but after that we are going to blitz into as many places as pos

Thank you, awesome to see how many ideas this inspired! We've thought about a lot of similar things ourselves and will certainly build some of them :) Sorry about the error you are getting! It's a Firefox thing. We will patch. In

Thank you! We love hearing stories like this. We want to get Aqua into as many places as possible — and will go full tilt into that as soon as the core is extremely extremely solid (this is our focus right now). Great lessons from Dragon Di

patching now!! good catch.

by jmcintire1 2y ago
Sorry about the Firefox error! Agreed on the sentiment behind native app — we plan to get Aqua in as many places as possible asap. For product iteration, you can’t beat the speed the browser affords.

Made some tradeoffs for the sake of speed — email signup will come. We want it too!
