The first consumer AI that can make any type of phone call

Good morning HN, Today we’re launching a free public beta for Vibrato, a consumer AI assistant that makes phone calls for you. The phone calls can be simple, like making an appointment, to complex, like negotiating a lower utility bill. As far as I know, this is the first time consumers have had the ability to make general calls with AI. We’re launching with two major features: - a task library, where you can immediately have Vibrato perform a specific task that we’ve vetted, like making a doctor’s appointment or reducing your Comcast cable internet bill. - a GPT for ChatGPT (Plus…

    Companies use AI to take your calls. I built AI to make them for you2025 · pipervoice.com · ▲237

    We're living in this weird asymmetry where companies use AI to talk to us, but we're still manually dialing them. Companies everywhere are adopting AI voice agents lately. Big retail, family dentist clinics, local pharmacy. This year, I've been in a few calls where it's super natural sounding AI, which has been pretty cool to experience. But then it got me thinking - why are we, the consumers, still the ones making calls if they're using robots for theirs? So I built Piper: basically AI that makes phone calls for you. You tell it what you need (book appointment, check on an order, dispute…

    Hey HN, Today I’d like to show what I’ve recently built with my 2 friends. We’ve called it Nova. The idea is to built all-purpose AI Voice Assistant, which is able to interact with mail, to-do apps, messengers and socials, task trackers, apps like UberEats, Notion and some other daily apps. How we decided to work on it: We’ve recently read YC Request for startups Summer25 and were inspired by the idea of AI Voice Assistant for Mail by YC partner Tyler Bosmeny. What we’ve got: We’ve gone a bit further than Assistant for mail only and connected Gmail, Todoist, Google Calendar, and…

  • Hi HN! I’m proud to share that we have built a real 3rd party iMessage client for Android. We did it by reverse engineering the iMessage protocol and encryption system. It's available to download today (no waitlist): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beeper.ima and there's a technical writeup here: https://blog.beeper.com/p/how-beeper-mini-works. Unlike every other attempt to build an iMessage app for Android (including our first gen app), Beeper Mini does not use a Mac server relay in the cloud. The app connects directly to Apple…

  • Hey! I made Heynote entirely for my own use case. For many years, I always had an Emacs instance running with the scratch buffer open, even long after I had abandoned Emacs as my programming editor in favor of more recent IDE:s. The simplicity of having just one big scratch buffer appeals to me, but I still want to separate the different things I jot down somehow (without using tabs or similar). Previously, my solution was to insert a bunch of blank lines between the notes, but hitting C-A would still select the entire buffer. That's why I came up with the concept of "blocks", which turned…
