building warm wins (find who can intro you) + trove (movie and book ai recommendation)

@cooper221bb @tankots @WisprFlow i'm building my own transcription app atm, curious about the hallucinating, does it only happen in the pauses, or does it reword stuff you actually said too?

[jerf @jerfhq]

@matnewera @tankots @WisprFlow lol! building my own transcription app atm, do you just get random words wrong or full sentences going wrong?

[jerf @jerfhq]

@jamesmulvey @alexgoughcooper @tankots @ericzawo @WisprFlow lol! of all the options... I'm building my own transcription app atm, when the voice transcription botches stuff for you is it mostly names/nouns or whole sentences?

[jerf @jerfhq]

@MattTrainer @tankots @WisprFlow what was it censoring for you, just swears or whole phrases too?

[jerf @jerfhq]

@IsaacHende88587 haha fair enough. If typing ever starts to annoy you you know where to find it.

[jerf @jerfhq]

every dictation app i tried dropped words, especially on AirPods or talking quietly.

i'd only notice when Claude gave a weird answer, because half of what i said was missing.

so i built Vokal: hold a key, talk, every word captured. let AI tidy it, but capture it right first.

[jerf @jerfhq]

@deetvleet Hey! I didn't assume, I ran a bake-off against Wispr Flow (which I moved away from because it wasn't accurate enough) and Vokal came out more accurate. I'd love for you to try it, and if you find different, just message me. Happy to make it right.

went to the countryside. fish and chips. ghost stories. fresh air. came home and pushed a new onboarding flow because the drop-off was brutal. back tomorrow

@aidevpreneur cheers! can’t really have one without the other these days. what’s surprised me most is how willing people are to help if you get the right customer. the feedback from beta users has been way more useful than i expected

[jerf @jerfhq]

shipped a live chat feature for trove so beta users can give me direct feedback. also spent the day deep in distribution research. first t-shirt weather in london in 6 months. mass productivity loss across the city

[jerf @jerfhq]

submitted trove to the app store. gave it to new beta users. key function broke immediately on an edge case i missed for months. the system works. posted my first tiktoks

[jerf @jerfhq]

rained all day in london so business as usual. talked to beta users and thought they were just being polite but posthog says they’re actually using it. back tomorrow

[jerf @jerfhq]

built a couple things today. improved the pathfinding function after some feedback. my brother told me to learn distribution so tomorrow i'm studying lenny's podcast "How to Consistently Go Viral"

[jerf @jerfhq]

building a tool that helps salespeople (and others) find warm intros. claude crashed so i'm here instead
