What it does

Emotionally aware Text to Speech. Highest Speech Quality. Lowest Latency <75ms. Start free with 10,000 credits.

Emotionally aware AI text to speech. Twelve studio voices in English, Hindi and Hinglish, ~75ms to first audio, lowest Hindi WER. Start free with 10,000 credits.

Emotionally and contextually aware text to speech in English, Hindi and Hinglish. Built for streaming, with first audio in about 75ms. Ship voice agents that sound human. Traditional TTS asks you to over-specify: expand numbers, clarify abbreviations, add pronunciation hints. Chariot infers what should be spoken from context. No more normalization hell. Real Chariot voices, English, Hindi and Hinglish from the same model. Press play to hear each one. We test Chariot against the leading speech systems available in India, on Hindi word accuracy and speech quality. One endpoint, one API key.

    I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

    Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

  • A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

    Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
