They're for different types of people on your team. The FAQ is for your "just give me the answer" people. You know who I'm talking about. They...
G'day Reader, Voice is rapidly becoming the preferred way to interact with AI. The stats back it up - voice input is 3x faster than typing, captures emotional nuance, and breaks down accessibility barriers.
