Building an input method that feels like company.
We spend so much time talking — to AI, to people — yet feel lonelier than ever. An input method does just one thing: turn keys into text. But have you ever thought that, in that moment of typing, what you really want is company?
What EchoType is
EchoType is a fully AI-built project, made from scratch by Adam alone.
No team — from product design to code, everything was done in collaboration with AI agents.
It's a voice input method that embeds AI into the keyboard itself. Tap the mic and speak — AI reorders your words, extracts to-dos, and saves notes. No app-switching; you're done the moment you stop talking.
A little pixel pet lives in the keyboard too. It perks up when you speak, hops with joy on a good recognition, and waits quietly when you're silent. Not just decoration — it's visible company for every keystroke.
