Hey HN, we're building Hyper: an iOS voice recorder for the conversations that matter too much to pause and take notes. 1:1s with your cofounder, coffee chats, standups, whiteboard sessions. One tap to record, and when you're done you get a summary, full transcript, and tappable action items (calendar events, reminders, email drafts) — no notes needed. We built this because at our last company (a robotics startup), the most consequential decisions happened spontaneously — in hallways, over lunch, on walks. None of it got captured. Every recorder we tried was built for scheduled Zoom calls…

Hey HN! Alexis here, I’m a product manager and software developer in Berlin by way of New York. I want to show you this app I made – It’s like a "buddy" for those, like myself, who inadvertedly talk too much in meetings. The app gives me feedback and a little more in control of what I have influence over by: * Keeping track of how long I’ve been speaking * Catching myself before I talk too much * Developing a better sense of timing I truly love having conversations with people in real-life. But online meetings, especially group calls, tend to make me nervous. I can't read body language. The…

Hey HN -- I'm Shalin, one of the cofounders of Hyper. My cofounder Kanyes and I have been power users of a lot of second brain type software like Notion and Obsidian for years, and tried fine-tuning GPT-2 back in 2020 to solve this exact problem of giving AI access to all context of my life so it can do work for me more intelligently. We were too early then, and spent the next 4 years building robots at Matic. Earlier this year, we realized this was perhaps the right time to take a second crack at this problem, so we quit our jobs and built Hyper. It's super exciting that we finally shipped…

Heynds▲125Hey everyone, I'm excited to share Heynds, a new desktop app for macOS and Windows (Linux coming soon!) that combines voice dictation with a powerful AI writing assistant to significantly boost your productivity. First and foremost, I know that many solutions like this already exist, but I needed my own, something faster than all the others, that both integrates speech-to-text and a writing assistant in an all-in-one app. The core idea is to let you work much faster by: * Voice-to-Text: Speak naturally, and Heynds transcribes your words into perfectly formatted text in real-time. Think of it…

Hi HN -- voice chat with AI is very popular these days, especially with YC startups (https://twitter.com/k7agar/status/1769078697661804795). The current approaches all do a cascaded approach, with audio -> transcription -> language model -> text synthesis. This approach is easy to get started with, but requires lots of complexity and has a few glaring limitations. Most notably, transcription is slow, is lossy and any error propagates to the rest of the system, cannot capture emotional affect, is often not robust to code-switching/accents, and more. Instead, what…

I have tried journaling many times but nothing stuck. So I decided to make my own app for myself with these features: * Voice first * Private first * AI chat * Automatic tagging, meaning extraction, and semantic retrieval using embeddings stored locally * Export to LLM the AI angle is especially interesting for me. It allows me to ask questions like: * "remind me highlights and crazy nights in the last 3 months" * "How was I feeling during my trip in Spain and how big of a problem was my breakup" * "How would you judge my overall interactions with Marc after I told him about my problems" the…
