Voice to Text for Chiefs of Staff
You're the connective tissue between your executive and the entire organization. Every meeting, every conversation, every decision needs to be captured, synthesized, and distributed. But typing slows you down when speed is your superpower. Blurt lets you dictate briefings, meeting follow-ups, and stakeholder updates the moment insights are fresh. Hold a button, speak your thoughts, release. Text appears wherever you need it — Slack, email, Notion, anywhere. Process information at the speed of thought, not the speed of typing.
The Typing Problem
Being the executive's force multiplier means processing everything
Your executive just finished three back-to-back meetings. You were in all of them, tracking decisions, noting action items, catching the subtext others missed. Now you need to synthesize it all into something actionable before the next meeting starts in 20 minutes. Your brain has the connections, but your fingers can't type fast enough to get it all down before the context fades.
Synthesizing across meetings to spot what others miss
The CFO mentioned a budget concern this morning. The VP of Sales hinted at a pipeline issue after lunch. Your executive needs to know these dots connect before tomorrow's board prep. You see the pattern clearly — you could explain it in 30 seconds — but writing it up takes 15 minutes you don't have. By the time you finish typing, two more fires have started.
Drafting communications on behalf of leadership
Your executive needs to respond to a sensitive stakeholder email. They told you the key points in a 90-second conversation between meetings. Now you need to turn that into a polished message that sounds like them, captures the nuance, and goes out before EOD. You know exactly what to write. Typing it takes four times longer than speaking it would.
Keeping special projects moving while managing the daily chaos
You're running three strategic initiatives while also managing the executive's calendar, prepping for board meetings, and fielding requests from every department. Each project needs status updates, stakeholder communications, and documentation. The context-switching alone is exhausting. By Thursday, your project notes are three days behind because there's never time to sit and type them out.
Routing the right information to the right people at the right time
Information flows through you constantly. The trick is knowing what goes to whom, in what format, with what context. A quick Slack to the EA, a detailed email to the board member, a bullet summary to the leadership team. You're making these routing decisions constantly, but the bottleneck is always the same: getting the words out of your head and into the right channel before the moment passes.

Real Scenarios
Executive briefings before critical meetings
Your CEO has a board meeting in 10 minutes and needs context on three agenda items. You just finished synthesizing information from five different stakeholders. Hold your hotkey and talk through the key points: 'On the pipeline discussion, Sales is projecting 15% under Q3 target but has two enterprise deals that could close this week. Recommend we acknowledge the gap and frame it as a timing issue, not a demand issue.' Briefing delivered in 30 seconds. Your executive walks in prepared.
Meeting follow-ups while context is fresh
The leadership sync just ended. You caught four action items, two decisions that need documenting, and one political landmine to flag privately. Instead of waiting until you have 'time to write it up,' hold the button right now: 'Action items from leadership sync: Sarah to revise the hiring plan by Friday, Mike to schedule the customer advisory board, finance team to model both scenarios for the offsite.' Sent to Slack before you leave the conference room. Nothing falls through the cracks.
Cross-team coordination notes
Product and Engineering are misaligned on the Q4 roadmap. You just mediated a conversation that got them on the same page. Now you need to document what was agreed before either side remembers it differently. Speak the summary into an email: 'Confirming our discussion: Product will lock feature scope by the 15th, Engineering will commit to delivery timelines by the 22nd, and we'll use the existing prioritization framework for any trade-offs.' Alignment captured. Politics defused.
Special project status updates
The office relocation project needs a weekly update for the executive team. You have all the information in your head from the vendor calls and site visits. Instead of spending 30 minutes typing a formatted update, dictate it directly into Notion: 'Week 12 update: Lease signed Tuesday, buildout begins March 1st, furniture vendor confirmed delivery window of April 15-17. Open issue: IT still needs to confirm network infrastructure timeline. Escalating to CTO.' Update done in 45 seconds. Project stays visible.
Stakeholder communications on sensitive topics
An investor emailed asking about the leadership transition. Your executive gave you talking points but you need to craft the actual response. Speak naturally as you would if explaining it in person: 'Thanks for reaching out. The transition is going smoothly — we've completed the first 30 days of the plan we shared in October, and the board is pleased with progress. Happy to schedule a call next week if you'd like more detail.' Polished email drafted faster than you could have typed the opening line.
Strategic initiative tracking
You're driving three initiatives that span multiple quarters and dozens of stakeholders. Each needs regular documentation that you never have time to write. After your weekly check-in calls, capture updates immediately: 'Digital transformation initiative: Phase 2 kickoff moved to February due to vendor delay. No impact on annual timeline. Key risk: Change management resources still not confirmed.' Asana updated in real-time. Strategic work stays organized even when tactical fires burn.
Leadership alignment documentation
The executive team just had a difficult conversation about strategy. Agreement was reached, but it was nuanced and needs to be captured precisely before memories diverge. While it's fresh, dictate the summary: 'Leadership aligned on the following: We will pursue the enterprise segment as primary focus, SMB will be maintained but not invested in, and we will revisit in Q2 based on enterprise pipeline results. Dissenting view from CMO noted and acknowledged.' Alignment documented. Future revisionism prevented.
