Willow Launches Viral AI Voice Keyboard on the iOS App Store

Willow, a leading AI voice dictation platform, today announced the launch of its voice keyboard on the iOS App Store. Willow lets you speak anywhere you type on iPhone, then turns speech into clear, well-written text that matches your tone and the app you’re in. The company serves tens of thousands of users and has been growing 50% month over month since graduating Y Combinator’s Spring 2025 batch.

The Problem: Bad dictation tools slow people down

Voice is the fastest way to communicate yet most dictation tools end up slowing people down due. They miss words, names, and acronyms. They ignore context, so a text reads like an email and an email reads like a note. They don’t handle formatting, bullets, paragraphs, line breaks, so users need to rebuild the message by hand. The end result is people spending more time editing and correcting than they did speaking, eliminating the speed advantage of voice.

“Willow is hands down my favorite new way to write. It makes writing long messages, emails, and notes 10x faster than typing by hand,” said Max Musing, Founder of Basedash. “It’s especially helpful for inputting large amounts of context for AI prompts that I would otherwise be too lazy to type by hand. This has been a game changer for coding with AI.”

Willow’s Solution: World class voice dictation with AI-powered context

Willow is a complete, voice-based keyboard that works across any iOS app. Users simply need to speak naturally, and Willow writes the message they intend, clean, formatted, and in your voice. Since launching its web app in Spring 2025, the company has grown its revenue 50% monthly and has reached tens of thousands of users. Willow has two tiers, a free plan which includes 2,000 words/week and an unlimited plan that costs $12/month. Willow also has team plans for discounted rates.

Willow’s key features:

• Works anywhere: A full keyboard that functions in any app
• AI rewrite: Turns rough speech-to-text-text into clear, concise writing
• Style-matching: Adapts tone by context, texting vs. email vs. Slack
• Higher accuracy: 3x more accurate than Apple’s built-in dictation
• Faster edits: Automatic formatting, intelligent corrections, and custom dictionary

“Most dictation tools focus on the wrong thing - they make you spend more time editing than speaking,” said Allan Guo, co-founder and CEO of Willow. “Willow actually adapts to your writing style across different contexts and uses AI to handle formatting and corrections. Our goal is to build a world where the app disappears entirely, where you can just talk to your computer like a person and it truly understands you.”

Willow has raised $4.5M from Box Group, Y Combinator, Burst Capital, and angel investors such as Max Mullen (Instacart), Dharmesh Shah (HubSpot), Tomer London (Gusto), Alexis Ohanian (Reddit), Kipp Bodnar (ex-Yelp COO), Kaz Nejatian (Opendoor CEO; ex-Shopify COO), and Adam Guild (Owner).
