I'd like to suggest adding a native microphone button directly inside the Missive AI chat/assistant panel, similar to how Shopify Sidekick, Intercom, and other modern AI assistants handle voice input.
How it would work:
The user clicks a microphone button inside the AI assistant panel
Audio is captured in the browser and sent to a voice-to-text API (e.g. OpenAI Whisper or Gemini's equivalent) using the user's own API key
The transcribed text is returned and populated as the AI input prompt
Optionally, this could enable a back-and-forth voice conversation with the AI, similar to ChatGPT's voice mode
Why this matters:
Third-party dictation tools like Monologue work well for individual power users, but they're not practical to roll out across a whole team. A native microphone button inside Missive removes that friction entirely - team members are far more likely to engage with the AI assistant if they can simply click a mic and speak, rather than configure a separate tool.
