Hey folks. We built SAA (Selective Auditory Attention) after trying to find ways to make a good experience with multiple robots/multiple agents. What typically ended up happening is they'd never stop talking. This is an SDK you can put before your STT. It lets you know when your device is being spoken to or not without a wakeword. You can use it for: -Single AI, Multi human -Multi AI, Single human -Multi AI, Multi human (we recommend also adding a wakeword on top for a better system) There are two models. One that is video + audio and one that is just audio. The way it overall works is…

Hey there HN! I believe the future of AI communication will be more voice and less text. Low-latency realistic voice interactions are finally becoming feasible. I've built a few voice-first apps on Retell AI using Elevenlabs voices. This one uses Claude Haiku for responses and Mixtral to switch between posts and comments. The AI knows about the top 30 posts and their comments on Hacker News right now. After a Google sign-in you can try it free for 10 minutes. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

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…

Hey HN, it’s Russ - cofounder of LiveKit. An open source stack for building realtime AI applications. We’re sharing our first homegrown AI model for turn detection. Here’s a live demo: https://cerebras.vercel.app/ Voice AI has come a long way in the last year. We now have end-to-end systems that can generate a response to user input in 300-500ms — human level speeds! As latency reduces, a common problem that surfaces is the LLM responds too quickly. Any time there’s a short pause in a user’s speech, it ends up interrupting them. This is largely due to how voice AI applications…

I built a demo of a voice AI task manager. You speak naturally and it updates your visible task list in real time. Try it here, no sign up: https://taskmaster.keithschacht.com I find it useful to talk aloud to figure out priorities. With this, I can just ramble, “Mark that first task as done. Actually undo that. Add a task to proofread it. Move that to the top…” It’s built on LiveKit with a Rails web UI. It listens continuously, maps speech to tool calls, and keeps full task-list state so it understands vague references like “the third item” or “the one with my kids.” Voice feels…

Hey HN! Have been working on Audentic, a platform that simplifies adding voice AI to your website. Think of it as a copy-paste voice assistant that you can embed directly into your site. Setting up voice AI has traditionally been a bit of a hassle, often requiring juggling multiple components like speech recognition, text processing, and text-to-speech systems. With Audentic, we've streamlined this into a more straightforward, end-to-end voice model. While OpenAI's Realtime API has made real-time, multimodal AI interactions more feasible, integrating these capabilities into a website can…
