quick-win buyer intent
Switch when the subscription stops matching the workflow.
- You want one license that covers a Windows desktop and a Mac laptop.
- You dictate prompts, PR notes, docs, Slack replies, and emails into many different apps.
- You prefer paying once instead of adding another monthly tool to the stack.
- You want your voice processed locally by default, not routed through a cloud account.
