ApexBot – An (speech-based) interactive web-based bot
Hello fellow combinators, First of all I've been reading Ycombinator for a while (especially show HN), but have never really posted anything. The ideas that people post on show HN always intrigue me. So I thought I'd share something that I have been working on for the past weeks. My idea was to write a webapp for my smart mirror, so I have built an (speech-based) interactive web-based bot (which currently only works on Chrome ;( ). The current (alpha) version consists of following features: Speech recognition: which allows you to interact with the bot by using voice commands. Text-to-speech:…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hello fellow combinators, First of all I've been reading Ycombinator for a while (especially show HN), but have never really posted anything. The ideas that people post on show HN always intrigue me. So I thought I'd share something that I have been working on for the past weeks. My idea was to write a webapp for my smart mirror, so I have built an (speech-based) interactive web-based bot (which currently only works on Chrome ;( ). The current (alpha) version consists of following features: Speech recognition: which allows you to interact with the bot by using voice commands. Text-to-speech: so that the bot can give feedback. Face detection: with this the bot knows you're in front of it (a camera is ofcourse a must). Github repository link: https://github.com/Kamuffel/ApexBot A working demo can be found at: https://kamuffel.github.io/ApexBot/ Try for example the commands: - tell me a quote; - sleep; - wake up; - be quiet; - you may speak. I would like to hear some feedback, tips or some cool ideas that may can be added. Thanks! Kamuffel

- CCCallhackernews.com – The missing voice interface for Hacker News2024 · callhackernews.com · ▲9
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!
- HNHacker News Discourse turns HN stories into Clubhouse-style audio rooms2021 · ▲36
I'm Seth, creator of discourse.fm, a browser-based tool/platform to create live audio chat rooms. I just launched an extension of the site - https://hackernews.discourse.fm/ - which pulls stories in real-time from the HN site using the public API, and enables anyone to join a live audio discussion about the story (think Clubhouse rooms autogenerated for HN stories). Once you enter a room, you can grab the link generated for a room and paste it back to the comments on the HN story to invite more participants. hackernews.discourse.fm is both a full-fledged product and a…
- VBVideo.bot (YC S20) – Like a chatbot, but with video-based interface2020 · ▲21
Hi HN, Daniel here. I've just applied video.bot (http://video.bot/olivia) to YC S20. Chatbots have been around for 30 years, but there's been zero interface evolution to date. video.bot is asking people to rethink chatbots. Imagine them with a rich interface, like in personalized videos, but with interactions, like in a game. That's what we're calling video.bot: bots with visual appealing that create 1 on 1 visual conversations on the fly AT SCALE. Top Banks, Telecoms, Pharmas, etc. are using video.bot to make job offers, onboard new employees or customers, help patients…
- SISeobots.io – simple bots for task automation2020 · ▲5
Hello HackerNews! I would like to invite you to test drive a project I've been working on for qute a while: https://seobots.io This is the long awaited (by myself) release of a concept that I have first presented a few years back. The initial idea was to create a platform capable of hosting small scripts which I constantly make for work and grating everyone access to them, without the need for downloading anything from github or console knowledge requirements. These scripts (aka "bots") can do all sorts of things, such as scraping, posting, parsing – you name it. If you are a…

Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…
