A thread 🧵

1. Kings Guard broke character for a moment so a blind woman could touch his horse

@elevenlabs . @JoeySalads what's the trick?

[hitom @gethitom]

This guy is pranking @elevenlabs asking it to count to 1M.

Apparently the male voice does it but not the female one?

SPOOKY? Probably not!

Voice assistants are transforming email access for everyone, especially those with disabilities. Manage, read, and flag emails hands-free—making inboxes more inclusive and less frustrating. Discover how this tech solves real problems for users who need it most.

Wonderful. We'll DM you so you can send us your email and we can take it off https://t.co/xD1yKlr7Qu 🙏

@rubytucki @gethitom Certainly happy to have a look at it must admit not heard of this before

[hitom @gethitom]

@christiancalgie Couldn't agree more! The only problem is (a) if OpenAI has access to the private data and hence (b) to use a tool dedicated to it versus wasting time copy/pasting.

This is why we're onboarding our 2nd cohort of users on https://t.co/6Lc65Rjuqm

The last thing you f****ng should do is text whilst driving. 5-15% of all car accidents is from people texting. When we receive an urgent email or WhatsApp, we want to answer though.

We're onboarding a second cohort of @gethitom users if you'd like to join

Do we know which of the model is best for building TTS and STT? Think a pure voice AI assistant?

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

To figure out who will win any given technology race, just look at the rate of acceleration of innovation & growth

[hitom @gethitom]

We've been trying to build Tom, the #voiceai assistant for your #emails and we've had to rebuild the architecture 5 times in just a few weeks. So much to learn and we'll be able to share how NOT to build a voice-ai assistant shortly with every error made along the way. #AI 🚀

[hitom @gethitom]

ahahaha. This is the way to get to work on time! Rodeo time.

[Dallas Texas TV @DallasTexasTV]

Never too old for a buggy ride

[hitom @gethitom]

There should be no time for bs like this on the road.

Just take it easy, plug in Tom and get your emails sorted.

So you're more relax, and the longer your journey, the less emails you have to answer manually by the time you get to the office!

[hitom @gethitom]

Is this how far we've gotten with people being stuck to their phones?

We thought of Tom's voice AI personal assistant for blind people, drivers/commuters but this is definitely another reason we need to build this tech fast!

But otherwise fair move from HK!!

Did you know about the curb cut effect?

This is when access for disabled people ends up helping everyone.
