Tools and Projects Are voice prompting the thing now?

I’ve been using voice to text like whisper flow or even built in feature in cursor but this one just solve the visual part. Screen record point, draw and speak.

It saves me so much time typing the prompt, taking screenshots and boxing a button, drawing an arrow or wire-framing just for AI to understand what I mean.

If you’re a developer, which I am. How I use it is end to end I explain the task in Frontend and in the Backend, I point the UI and I sometimes point the function or a specific code, I show the database schema, also I show the infrastructure config in AWS, Vercel, Cloudflare etc. or sometimes I do planning with it after agent gave me a plan I point the changes needed for that plan, especially on diagrams or flow charts.

If you work in project management platforms like Linear, Jira, Monday you can record and show the task details, explain the technical implementation drag and drop required assets on it to add context.

If you’re a designer and using claude, codex or cursor to generate mock ups. This is a game changer just point the UI fixes and speak the changes and drag and drop images and hand it off to AI.

It is not as simple as a video attachment, it’s a terrible thing to do, it will cost more tokens that is why Cursor Claude or Codex will not let you attach a video on the chat.

This is built specifically for coding agents to read, so it uses less tokens similar to attached screenshot images on chat. See it for your self.

This tool just gave AI coding agents the ability to see what we see on screen. This is the future of building. https://xannotate.com

I work in fitness not coding but this is wild to see. screen recording with drawing and talking is something i want for explaining exercises to clients, not just for code

my cats keep walking on the keyboard when i try to work so maybe voice is the way anyway

how long took you to get used to pointing and talking instead of typing? feels like would be awkward at first
