AICHE +Workflowy Integration

The short answer: click into any WorkFlowy bullet, press ⌃+⌥+R (Mac) or Ctrl+Alt+R (Windows/Linux), speak your thought, and AICHE inserts polished text directly into that bullet.

The Problem With Outlining

WorkFlowy is built for thinking. Infinite nesting, zoom anywhere, tags, mirrors. The tool itself disappears and lets you focus on structure.

But typing doesn't disappear. You're mid-thought about project architecture, and suddenly you're correcting a typo, hunting for the right key, losing the thread. The keyboard becomes friction between your brain and your outline.

A 20-item outline with detailed bullets takes 15-20 minutes to type. Not because the ideas are hard, but because fingers are slow.

What Changes With AICHE

You sit with WorkFlowy open, click into a bullet, and press your hotkey. Now you're talking through your idea while staring at the ceiling or pacing the room. Thirty seconds later, a clean bullet point appears.

No typing. No typo correction. No losing your train of thought to keyboard mechanics.

The math: speaking is 150 WPM. Typing is 40 WPM. A detailed bullet that takes 45 seconds to type takes 12 seconds to speak.

How It Works

1. Open WorkFlowy in your browser or desktop app.
2. Click into the bullet where you want to add content.
3. Press ⌃+⌥+R (Mac) or Ctrl+Alt+R (Windows/Linux) to start recording.

4. Speak your thought naturally. Include as much detail as you want.

5. Press the hotkey again. AICHE transcribes, removes filler words, and inserts clean text.

6. Press Enter to create a new bullet, repeat.

Why This Matters for Outliners

WorkFlowy users think in hierarchies. Parent concepts, child details, infinite depth. But building those hierarchies requires typing the same amount as any other tool.

Voice changes the equation. You can:

• Brainstorm faster: speak 10 bullet points in the time it takes to type 3
• Capture fleeting thoughts: dictate before you forget
• Develop ideas in depth: longer bullets don't cost more effort
• Stay in flow state: no context-switching to keyboard mechanics

Workflow Tips

One Thought Per Bullet

Dictate one complete thought, then press Enter. This keeps your outline clean and lets you reorganize later.

Create Structure First

Press Enter multiple times to create empty bullets, then dictate into each one. This separates structural thinking from content generation.

Use Nested Lists

For sub-bullets, press Tab after creating a new line, then dictate. AICHE doesn't care about nesting depth.

Brain Dump Mode

For raw brainstorming, open a fresh WorkFlowy page and speak continuously for 2-3 minutes. Let AICHE capture everything, then reorganize into proper hierarchy.

For Non-English Thinkers

Enable "Translate to English" in AICHE settings. Think in your native language, get English bullets. Your brain works faster when it doesn't have to translate on the fly.

The Result

A 20-item outline with detailed bullets: 15-20 minutes typing, or 5 minutes dictating. Same output, different input method.

More importantly, you maintain flow state. Ideas connect to ideas without the interruption of hunt-and-peck. The outline becomes a transcript of your thinking, not a reconstruction of it.

Try it now: open WorkFlowy, create a bullet, press your hotkey, and dictate one project you need to plan today.
