✦ Case study
New places to ship, new things the product can do
The text-expansion app that kills repetitive typing for support, sales, and ops teams — shortcuts and canned responses that work across every app. We partnered with typedesk to widen where the product ships and what it can do.

✦ Challenge
The problem we were brought in to solve.
typedesk saves teams from retyping the same replies over and over — shortcuts and canned responses that fire in any app, on any platform. A loved, established product, but one with more it could reach and more it could do.
The team wanted to grow where the product lives and deepen what it offers, without disrupting the fast, keyboard-first experience that made people rely on it in the first place.
One primary way for customers to find and install the app
A presence on a major distribution platform, in front of a new audience
Canned responses that were powerful but purely manual
AI-assisted responses that draft and adapt on the fly
A roadmap of ideas waiting for hands to build them
Features shipped end to end, in the product's own style
✦ What we built
What we built and how it runs.
We worked as an extension of the typedesk team across the product — helping take it to a major new distribution platform and building out the AI-assisted side of what canned responses can do.
The work spanned the whole surface: getting the product where new users would find it, and adding capability inside it, all while keeping the speed and simplicity that typedesk is known for.
What typedesk does for its users
