The short answer: open Copilot chat in your editor, click into the prompt field, press ⌃+⌥+R (Mac) or Ctrl+Alt+R (Windows/Linux), speak for 30-60 seconds, and AICHE inserts the formatted prompt for Copilot to process.

Typing detailed prompts with full context, edge cases, and requirements takes 6-10 minutes per request, creating friction between problem identification and AI-assisted solutions.

  1. Open VS Code, Visual Studio, or GitHub Copilot chat.
  2. Click into the Copilot chat input field.
  3. Press your AICHE hotkey to start recording.
  4. Speak your complete requirement, including context and constraints.
  5. Press the hotkey again-AICHE transcribes, applies Message Ready formatting, and inserts the text.
  6. Press Enter to send the prompt to Copilot.

Heads-up: longer prompts produce better Copilot responses. Speak for 40-60 seconds to provide full context rather than abbreviated 10-second requests.

The pro-tip: include file context in your dictation by saying "in the authentication middleware" or "for the checkout component" so Copilot understands exactly where to apply changes.

Result: complex refactoring prompts that take 8 minutes to type now take 45 seconds to speak, and Copilot generates more accurate implementations from detailed context.

Do this now: open Copilot chat, press your hotkey, and dictate one complete coding task you've been avoiding because typing the full requirements felt tedious.
