Braindump and Walk

Inspiration

A tweet by Rob Holland sparked the idea: a seamless AI voice assistant for walks. I wanted to brainstorm and chat with AI without looking at my phone, capturing the mental clarity and creative ideas that flow during walks. The ability to record voice notes for tweeting and generate actionable insights hands-free felt like a game-changer.
