What it does
Ghost Mic listens while you record and fact-checks what you say in real time — cards appear on screen in a few seconds, powered by Cerebras Inference. Unlike meeting assistants (Otter, Granola) that summarize after the call, Ghost Mic works during the conversation. No bot joins your call. It transcribes live, catches checkable claims, searches the web, and shows you a citation — while you keep talking. If it can't ground a claim, it stays silent. Audio is never stored. Free while in beta.
Ghost Mic listens while you talk and shows source-backed fact-checks on your screen in under two seconds. A silent AI co-host for podcasters, debaters, and live conversations — free in your browser.

Shadow 2.0May 2026 · shadowlabs.ai · ▲529Hi HN, We built Shadow, a real-time meeting assistant that listens to your call and surfaces useful prompts while you’re speaking. The idea came from a simple observation: during important conversations (sales calls, founder meetings, interviews) you often realize the best question or insight 5 minutes too late. Shadow tries to solve that by acting like a quiet wingman during the call. What it does right now: • Tracks agenda topics so conversations don’t drift • Suggests follow-up questions based on what’s being said • Surfaces useful facts or angles in real time This is still an early MVP…
Whispering – Open-source, local-first dictation you can trust2025 · github.com · ▲591Hey HN! Braden here, creator of Whispering, an open-source speech-to-text app. I really like dictation. For years, I relied on transcription tools that were almost good, but they were all closed-source. Even a lot of them that claimed to be “local” or “on-device” were still black boxes that left me wondering where my audio really went. So I built Whispering. It’s open-source, local-first, and most importantly, transparent with your data. Your data is stored locally on your device, and your audio goes directly from your machine to a local provider (Whisper C++, Speaches, etc.) or your chosen…

The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate).

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
