AI Dictation for Designers
Spend more time in Figma and less time typing. Drop nuanced feedback in design comments, capture rationale docs, and reply to review threads at thinking speed.
Why typing is slowing designers down
Figma comments are typing-heavy
A real design critique is three paragraphs of nuance per comment — spacing rationale, alternatives considered, the user research that informed the choice. Typing all of that on a trackpad kills the review session.
Design rationale docs never get written
You explored four directions and have strong reasons for the one you shipped. Writing that up so future-you and the team understand the trade-offs takes an hour you never carve out from Figma time.
Async feedback eats deep-work blocks
Slack design-review threads, PM questions, and engineering clarifications stack up between focus blocks. Each reply needs care, but typing them breaks the visual flow you spent the morning getting into.
The apps designers dictate into
Figma
Leave nuanced design comments without trackpad-typing fatigue.
Slack
Reply to design-review threads at speaking speed, not typing speed.
Notion
Write design rationale and exploration docs at thinking pace.
Linear
Capture design tasks and spec notes between Figma sessions fast.
Google Docs
Draft design specs and process docs without breaking visual flow.
Miro
Annotate boards and capture workshop synthesis by voice.
Canva
Drop captions and project notes into shared design files quickly.
Asana
Update design-task descriptions and status with a hotkey, not typing.
A day with Amical
- Morning
Open Figma, scan overnight comments from the PM and engineering. Dictate three nuanced replies inline explaining the spacing system and the accessibility constraint that ruled out the alternative.
- 11 a.m.
Critique session ends. Speak the design rationale doc straight into Notion — alternatives explored, why this direction won, what is still open. Future-you reads it instead of guessing.
- 2 p.m.
Slack design-review thread needs a thoughtful response with context on the user research. Dictate the reply between Figma frames; the thread is unblocked before your next deep-work block.
- 5 p.m.
Wrap the day with a quick handoff doc for the engineer building tomorrow. Voice-dictate the edge cases and interaction details into Linear so the work can start without a meeting.
What Amical does for designers
Comment without trackpad fatigue
Figma comments are where most async design conversation happens, and typing them on a trackpad while holding a stylus is genuinely painful. Dictating drops three-paragraph rationale into a comment in under a minute without breaking your tool-switching flow.
Capture rationale before you forget it
The reasoning behind a design decision is hardest to write up an hour later. Speak the rationale into the doc while it is still fresh — alternatives considered, constraints, the research that informed it. The team gets the why without you typing for an hour.
Works in every design surface
Figma comments, Notion specs, Slack threads, Linear handoff tickets, Miro synthesis — Amical drops into any focused text field. No per-tool plugin, no copy-paste between apps, no breaking the visual flow you need to do the actual design work.
