Frequently asked questions
Can I dictate experiment briefs directly into Notion?+
Yes. Ottex works anywhere you can type—Notion, Google Docs, Amplitude notes, spreadsheets. One hotkey, every app. Hit Option+D in Notion and speak your hypothesis, test setup, and success metrics.
How fast is it really?+
You speak 150+ words per minute vs ~40 typing. A detailed experiment brief that takes 5 minutes to type takes 90 seconds to dictate. When you're running 10+ experiments, that compounds to hours saved per week.
Can I use it to prompt AI for growth ideas?+
Absolutely. This is one of the best use cases. Speaking naturally to ChatGPT or Claude gives you 3x more context than typing. Describe your funnel, explain what you've tried, and ask for ideas. Better prompts = better AI output.
Does it work well for async Slack updates?+
Perfect for it. Growth teams live in Slack—experiment updates, metric alerts, cross-functional coordination. Dictate updates between meetings, while looking at dashboards, or right after a call. Work modes keep Slack messages concise and casual.
What about data-heavy writing (metrics, percentages)?+
Cloud models handle numbers and percentages accurately. Say 'conversion increased from 2.3 percent to 4.1 percent, a 78 percent relative lift' and get proper formatting. For recurring metrics, add them to snippets.
Can I capture ideas on the go?+
Yes. Ottex works on iOS too. Capture hypotheses while walking between meetings, during commute, or whenever insight strikes. The best ideas come at random moments—voice input means you don't lose them.
What does it cost?+
Free forever with local models. BYOK (bring your own API key) costs ~$1-3/month for typical usage. Optional $9/month premium includes Gemini 3 Flash credits with zero configuration.
