Products that do what I built a voice AI that responds like a real woman does
Most men rehearse hard conversations in their head. Asking someone out, navigating tension, recovering when things get awkward. The rehearsal never works because you're just talking to yourself. I built vibeCoach : a voice AI where you actually practice these conversations out loud, and the AI responds like a real woman would. She starts guarded. One-word answers, a little skeptical. If you escalate too fast or try something cheesy, she gets MORE guarded. If you're genuine and read the moment right, she opens up. Just like real life. Under the hood it's a multi-agent system : multiple AI…

Hello Hacker News, When learning foreign languages, I made the most progress by speaking them throughout the day, every day. So I made a site where you can *speak* to an AI language teacher to practice both listening and speaking. # The product *What I have now:* * Multilingual speech recognition: You can ask a question in English and get an answer in your target language. * Feedback on your grammar. * Suggestions: See examples of what to say next to keep the conversation flowing. * Speed: Choose a lower speed for beginners or a faster one for advanced levels. * Translations: Click to see a…

I made this experimental art project/game that's an LLM chat assistant, but where you're the AI. I wanted people to get a visceral sense of what it's like to answer the kinds of things that people prompt their chatbots day in and day out. If you're interested, I wrote up some more info on how I made it, including how the "user" prompts are generated with an eye for realism: https://bethechatbot.com/about Hope you enjoy it! I'd love to hear people's takeaways.

Hi, I built TalkBits because most language apps focus on vocabulary or exercises, but not actual conversation. The hard part of learning a language is speaking naturally under pressure. TalkBits lets you have real-time spoken conversations with an AI that acts like a native speaker. You can choose different scenarios (travel, daily life, work, etc.), speak naturally, and the AI responds with natural speech back. The goal is to make it feel like talking to a real person rather than doing lessons. Techwise, it uses realtime speech input, transcription, LLM responses, and tts streaming to keep…

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…

TLDR: We created a personalised Andrej Karpathy tutor that can response to questions about his Youtube videos in sub 1 second responses (voice-to-voice). We do this using a voice enabled RAG agent. See later in the post for demo link, Github Repo and blog write up. A few weeks ago we released the worlds fastest voice bot, achieving 500ms voice-to-voice response times, including a 200ms delay waiting for a user to stop speaking. After reaching the front page of HN, we thought about how we could take this a step further based on feedback we were getting from the community. Many companies were…

I'm a Machine Learning engineer. Struggled with consistency for months on my goals, life etc, so I built something to help myself (zropi.com) but that surprised me or shocked me literally. It’s an AI companion that feels alive: chats like a person. Pauses, emotions, personality. Sends voice notes when it's excited about something or whenever it wants (has its like own mind). Shares photos of itself. But the memory It remembers EVERYTHING. Not just facts context, preferences, random things I mentioned. Last week I asked "how's that thing I told you about going?" and it knew exactly what I…
