# Introducing Shortcut: Work at the speed of voice

## Introducing Shortcut: Work at the speed of voice

Several months ago, Deepgram acquired [Poised](https://www.poised.com/), an advanced communication tool that leverages voice AI to provide real-time, actionable feedback during online meetings. In our acquisition [announcement](https://deepgram.com/learn/deepgram-acquires-poised-elevating-real-time-voice-ai-communication), we intimated future enhancements to Poised would be forthcoming, and today we're thrilled to unveil an exciting new capability—Shortcut—that transforms how you work with technology that adapts to you, not the other way around.

Think about it: we're at our best when we're speaking—brainstorming with colleagues, thinking out loud, explaining ideas. So why do we still slow ourselves down with typing and clicking?

## What you can do with Shortcut

**Shortcut includes a number of productivity-enhancing capabilities including:**

- Get instant answers while staying in your flow.
- Turn spoken thoughts into polished writing.
- Create documents in minutes by just talking.
- Transform scattered ideas into clear plans.
- Practice important conversations naturally.

## What makes Shortcut different?

Speed and focus are at our core. While other tools pull you away from your work with lengthy responses and constant context-switching, Shortcut stays with you like a real assistant—delivering quick, precise results while keeping you in your flow. Need an answer? Want to write an email? Shortcut handles it instantly, right where you are.

Whether you're a chronic message editor, solo brainstormer, or conversation rehearser, Shortcut amplifies your natural abilities instead of changing them. Finally — technology that works the way your brain does.
