Press the microphone and talk — about the year you want, or the season your team is in. The planner finds the structure in what you said and writes the whole board: vision or mission.
Ask someone to type what they want from the next year and they hand back tidy phrases: “get healthier,” “grow the business,” “spend more time with family.” Ask them to talk for two minutes and something different comes out — the Saturday mornings they miss, the 10K they keep not signing up for, the name of the youth group, the customer who left in March. Those details are the board. Typing edits them away before they reach the page; talking lets them through.
That is why every board-building prompt in Vivida View has a microphone button marked Speak it. Press it and talk. Your words land in the prompt as you say them, and when you stop, the planner reads the whole stream and finds the structure in it: the areas of your life (or of your team), one goal for each, the obstacle you named without noticing, and an affirmation in your own voice.
For a personal board, do not recite goals. Describe a day eighteen months from now as if you were living it: where you wake up, what your body feels like, who is at the table, what the work is, what you are no longer worrying about. Then say what usually gets in your way — honestly, the part inside you, not the weather. “I talk myself out of the early run when I am tired” is worth more to the planner than “exercise more.”
Two or three minutes is plenty. The planner turns it into two to six areas — health, work, money, a relationship, a place, a skill — each with an identity line (“I am a runner”), a WOOP goal with its obstacle and if-then plan, and an affirmation that sounds like you because it came from you.
A mission board is a team or organisation’s board — a church, a gym, a company, a school — and the prompt is the same button. Talk about who you serve and what they need this season, what success looks like by a date, what has been getting in the way, and the line you would want every member to be able to say about who you are: “We are the gym where nobody trains alone.”
The planner writes the areas as the parts of the mission — people, programme, money, place, growth — with a goal and plan for each, in “we” language. Put it on the lobby screen or the staff-room TV and it becomes the thing everyone sees every day, which is the point.
The transcription happens in your own browser (Chrome, Edge or Safari; some browsers do not support voice input yet). Nothing is generated while you talk and no AI token is spent listening — you can read every word, fix a name the microphone misheard, add a line, and only then press generate. The planner then proposes a blueprint you can edit before anything is built: rename an area, drop one, swap a goal. Build it, and the board is on your screens.
The same microphone works in the Slide Board wizard (“describe the room this screen is in”) and in Update with AI, where you tell an existing board what has changed since you made it.
“It is a year from today and things went well. Walk me through a Tuesday.” Then just answer it, out loud.
“Here is what I keep saying I will do and then do not.” Name three. The planner hears the obstacles in the second half of each sentence.
“Here is who we are to the people we serve, and here is what they would notice if we got this season right.” That one is the mission board in a paragraph.
No. Listening and transcription happen in your browser. A token is spent only when you press generate, and the planner tells you the price before it does.
Chrome, Edge and Safari on desktop and phones. Browsers without voice input show the message and you can type instead — the planner reads typed stream of consciousness just as well.
Yes, twice: the transcript itself before you generate, and the blueprint the planner proposes before anything is built. Nothing goes on your screens until you say build.
Yes — choose Mission Board and talk about the season your organisation is in. The planner writes the areas in “we” language with a goal and plan for each.
