Voice-first intake
You deserve your clients’ real thoughts.
You have been getting AI-polished answers from clients. We built the fix.
Sayso
The launch
What happened when you first launched?
The messy version is the useful one. Talk it through — we write it up.
Live transcript
They came to us half-built, with a deadline they could not move. The hard part was not the code — it was untangling decisions someone else had already made.
The problem
The detail you need is in their head, not in the box.
Up to 85% of the forms clients are asked to fill in never get filled in. We know because it happened to us — our own discovery forms, sent to our own clients, came back empty.
Voice-enabled forms see under 20% abandonment, against 40–70% for the standard kind. The fix was never getting people to care more. It was getting them to type less.
We are not letting anyone off the hook. We just do not mind building the fix.
Nobody is sitting down to think something through, let alone type it out. So we stopped asking them to type it, and asked them to say it.
Typing it
It went well and the client was happy with the resu
Abandoned at question 4 of 22.
Saying it
They came to us with something half-built that had been stuck for a long time, and a deadline they could not move. The hard part was not the code, it was untangling decisions someone else had already made. We got it live, and it is still running — which, given where it started, is the bit I am proudest of.
47 seconds of talking. Transcribed automatically.
Time and money
An empty form still costs you.
The hour you spend chasing an answer is real money. Sayso is nine dollars a month after three free Asks — and the person on the other end talks instead of typing.

Talking is roughly three times faster than typing. The empty-form numbers are the same ones in the section above. One hour spent chasing a blank form already covers more than two months of Sayso.
How it works
Four steps. You control three of them.
The details you want live inside their head. We do not much care whether they type them out, voice them out, or telepathically upload them straight into your mind. Telepathy is not on the table yet, so we built Sayso.
01
Build the Ask
Your questions, grouped however you need them. However they choose to answer is their business, not yours.
02
Send the link
One link to share anywhere — email, Slack, your website. Everyone gives their name first, so you know exactly who said what.
03
They talk about it
One question at a time. They hit record and just talk, without overthinking it.
04
You get the details
Transcribed, laid out, ready to use. You did not chase anyone. They just told you.
Why bother
You are just so, so tired.
Tired of not getting answers. Tired of reading GPT tell you about someone else’s business. Tired of long documents that say very little about the brand, its personality, or the problems it actually ran into.
So let your clients talk about the problem in their own words.
And once they start talking, we make sure it survives. Audio is saved to the device every few seconds, before it ever tries to upload. Close the tab, lose the wifi, watch a laptop die mid-sentence — what was already said is still there. It uploads itself the second it can.

Features
Everything an Ask can do.
We mark what is not built yet rather than quietly implying it is. Anything tagged Upcoming is on the roadmap, not in the product.
Answer out loud
Every question can be spoken instead of typed. People say more in ninety seconds of talking than they will ever type into a box.
Nothing is ever lost
Audio saves to the device every few seconds, before it uploads. Close the tab, lose the wifi, kill the battery — what was already said survives.
Live transcript
Words show up as they are spoken, so nobody has to trust a black box. They can fix it on the spot before moving on.
Works offline
A dead signal does not stop a recording. It keeps going, saves locally, and uploads itself the moment the connection is back.
One question at a time
A single question on screen, with a progress bar so nobody loses track of how much is left.
Mixed answers
Talk one question, type the next, paste a link for a third. Nobody is boxed into one format.
Response dashboard

Publication clearance
Ask straight up what you are allowed to publish. Anything not ticked gets flagged — nothing goes out on a guess.

Questions
Fair enough — ask away.
Nothing. The recording keeps going. Audio is written to their device every few seconds before any upload is attempted, so a dropped signal, a closed tab or a flat battery costs at most the last few seconds. When they reconnect, it uploads itself. This is the part of Sayso we built first and test hardest.
No. They just get a link, and they talk. No sign-up, no password to lose, nothing between them and answering the question.
Accurate enough to edit, not so precious you cannot touch it. You will see the transcript as it is generated, and you can clean it up before it goes anywhere. Transcripts and summaries come with the paid plan; free accounts keep every recording.
Yes. Voice is the default because it gets you more, but nobody is forced into a microphone. Type, talk, mix both — whatever gets the answer out of their head.
Yes. Most people answer on their phone anyway — it is usually the thing closest to hand when they actually feel like talking.
An Ask is the set of questions you send someone — grouped into sections, answerable by voice, text, link or file. Think of it as the form, minus everything that made forms miserable.
A small team building this in the open, because we got tired of chasing our own clients for answers they were never going to type. We are early, we are testing, and we would rather ship something rough that actually works than something polished that does not.
Not the answers themselves. We transcribe what was actually said — pauses, tangents and all — and we never rewrite it into something smoother. There is a short summary alongside each answer to help you find your way around a long response, but it sits next to the words rather than replacing them, and the transcript is always there. The whole point is getting their voice, not a generic AI one.
Stop chasing half-finished forms.
Get your clients talking happily about something they love, have lived through, or just have an opinion on.
