What Typa does

We help businesses capture what resonates, make it repeatable, and turn attention into lasting momentum. With Typa, you can build a scalable inbound growth engine with content that compounds. We make this possible through three pillars: 1. A tone of voice that always sounds like you. Typa learns your style, cadence, and perspective so every piece of content reflects your authentic voice. 2. A knowledge base that updates in real time. Your digital clone continuously absorbs everything you say and create, ensuring your content always reflects your latest thinking. 3. A personal ghostwriter that’s always just a call away. Puff is your 24/7 AI ghostwriter and strategist, available via phone or WhatsApp whenever you want to brainstorm, plan, or execute. Currently supported channels: X, LinkedIn, Bluesky, and blog/newsletters.
