This software is unreal. It's like having a ChatGPT writing assistant on every single app I use and having all the prompts I can create at my fingertips.

Michael Montefusco left a review on

Typedesk it’s truly a timesaver when it comes to writing. Whatever task you’re on, you know you have Typedesk’s backup. I wouldn’t know what I would do without it now!

I(we) absolutely LOVE typedesk. This is a no brainer for any solopreneur or team that have to deal with customers support, fill forms on a regular basis, or just save time in general. It also syncs up on the cloud with everyone on the team...

I had a couple of other tools that provided some similar functions to typedesk, but once I started to learn the additional capabilities, I dumped the others and settle on typedesk. I’ve still far from master everything that could be possibl...

Typedesk is an amazing app, and i've been using for quite some time now! Thanks @michel_vermeulen1 for adding the OpenAI integration. Do you have any tutorials setup yet on how to actually use the integration?

Ali Khalil left a review on ProductHunt

Started using it a few weeks ago... it's honestly a god send [can't believe it's the only solution out there of its type]... And the beauty of it is that it's reasonably priced, the team is responsive and it just works! Can't wait f...

FellowSumoling left a review on appsumo

I didn't know about other different solutions as competitors and let have a chance to this one and after testing, I've been totally happy to use it. As a web agency, I had to multiply similar answers or process for clients and whaou ! TypeD...

Frederique left a review on appsumo

Typedesk is a great tool, as you can answer fast and directly by copy and paste. It's not depending on the plattform as it's operating as an desktop app. To sum it up typedesk is really a little but great helper with more even potential.

nomorewords left a review on AppSumo

Canned responses have been a fantastic way to save time during my onboarding process with clients along with the weekly/monthly reporting emails. Unfortunately, things got a little messy when testing out different CRMs, integrating emails,...

JohnG23 left a review on AppSumo

I love automation, saving time and keystrokes, and minimizing typos - so I already had text expansion set up on my computer, but it didn't work in every app.

JimHohl left a review on appsumo

This solution is super useful. I have many cases, where I can use it in my daily work.

m_b left a review on appsumo

I am a past user of textexpander. What I can already say is that I am surprised that I can do even more with this product than with textexpander. I can store different language versions. Snippets and small programs for batch automation.......
