Building Volt
Follow our journey as we create the fastest WhatsApp experience.
Instant audio transcripts and summaries
Volt now transcribes voice messages automatically. When you open a chat, the text is already waiting for you. And if the audio is too long, an automatic summary is used instead.
All of our List Improvements in the last 2 months
Over the last two months, we turned Lists from a clever Volt hack into a real power tool. You can now create or assign lists without leaving the keyboard, accept smart suggestions in one keystroke, spin up new lists from the sidebar, and assign emojis. We also killed the hidden 20-list limit and added Broadcasts for Lists. Soon you will be able to personalize this messages with variables.
Message Reminders – Launch
Volt’s new Message Reminders release – turn messages into reminders. WhatsApp isn’t overwhelming because of spam, but because of all the “I’ll reply later” messages you’re secretly trying to remember.
Experimenting with broadcasts
When Migue built a quick tool to notify updates for our event, his Instagram DMs blew up. That moment revealed a blind spot: by focusing too narrowly on product-market fit, Volt had been ignoring new user needs. We vibe-coded a rapid prototype and discovered how much time we could save people on WhatsApp.
