When launching a tech product, you face a fundamental question: do you describe what your product does, or what it helps users become?
The descriptive approach ("AI voice recorder") has clear advantages:
Immediately communicates what the app does
Appeals to a broader audience who might find "second brain" confusing
Helps with app store optimization and search discoverability
Feels accessible to the "common person" rather than just tech enthusiasts
The aspirational approach ("Your second brain") works differently:
Creates curiosity and emotional connection
Communicates the ultimate benefit, not just the feature
Positions the product in a premium category
Appeals to users who want to see themselves as forward-thinking
