Building skills. Exploring AI. Creating opportunities. 🚀
Your daily dose of AI Tech & Income.

[Omar Abdelaziz @OmarAbcXyz123]

We switched 10 people from iPhone to Blue. Weeks later, none of them want their iPhone back.

Introducing Blue: a phone you just talk to. Tell it what you need, and it gets done.

It has all the context, can use every single app, and even triages your notifications.

We built it for people who always have a little too much to do. The ones buried in messages, notifications, and to-dos.

If that's you, get yours today.

Backed by Y Combinator + 70 other VCs & angels.

Drop 4/15: Announcing the Voice Arena Dictation Bench - the first open benchmark of AI dictation apps.

Not their APIs: the real apps. We played 761 recordings from 87 speakers into each of 10 apps on a Mac, then 5 LLM judges asked if each draft could be sent as-is.

Wispr Flow: 79%. Apple: 35% 🧵

[Huang Song @huang_song_]

I believe typing will become obsolete.

Not just at home. Even in offices full of people.

Today, we're officially partnering with Anker to bring soundcore Work to Typeless.

It's a tiny wearable microphone that lets you speak naturally, even in a whisper, and turn your thoughts into clear writing with Typeless.

Messages. Emails. AI interactions. Long documents.

The future of work is spoken, not typed.

This partnership is one step toward making that future real.

ElevenLabs launches Scribe v3 Live with top real-time speech-to-text accuracy 🚀

We tested it on 70+ hours of real, unscripted phone calls.

The new #1 streaming model in Romanian and Indian English, and first on all 10 metric splits we report there 🧵

ElevenLabs' own numbers:
• Scribe v3: 27% fewer word errors than Scribe v2
• Scribe v3 Live: 43% fewer errors than Scribe v2 Realtime

They benchmarked on read speech. We test on spontaneous conversation, where models usually struggle most.

Here's what we found 👇

Congrats @ElevenLabs 👏

The smartest AI pricing model might be the one that lets you stop paying monthly.

[Sebastien Jefferies @SebJefferies]

VOSU just killed AI subscriptions.

You get the same AI models. Up to 70% cheaper than major competitors.

No subscriptions.
No monthly credit resets.
No expiring credits.
Start with just $1.

Stop wasting your hard-earned money on platforms that take away credits YOU paid for.

Busy month? Life happened? Your credits are still YOURS - @vosu_ai has your back.

You paid for them. Why the hell should a calendar take them away?

Your creativity doesn’t run on a billing cycle.

we need part 2 when robyn hits a million users

[Ryan Deng @ryandengg]

she left @harvard surgery to build AI. she was told silicon valley would never accept her, that she would die under a bridge.

so she cold-messaged @KiteVC on linkedin because he backed canva early. he replied the next day and sent her to @SanghaCapital. one 90-minute call later, they were her first investors.

@larsras, co-founder of google maps, came in next. @amandaterry of @ACTAIVentures backed her at pre-seed. then @M13Company and @latifperacha led a $5M seed, with xAI co-founder @ChrSzegedy.

@heyrobynai just launched and ran out of invites on day one.

now her dad thinks they'll IPO in three years.

You can filter the board to open-source models only. Useful if speech has to stay on your own hardware.

Drop 3/15: Introducing the Speech Recognition Benchmark on @voicearena_ai.

One benchmark for every use case of speech recognition, in every language. Tested on real conversations.

Dataset 1 is live: the Monsoon Conversational ASR Test Set, two-person conversations in 5 languages.

Leaderboard and public test sets at Voice Arena.

[Sana yousaf @mathpuzzles87]

@shobhitbanga @voicearena_ai Conversational audio is so different from read speech. Glad it's the default here.

[Sana yousaf @mathpuzzles87]

Nice that the board tags streaming models and lets you filter to just those. That's the list voice agent builders actually need. Nice work @voicearena_ai

@shobhitbanga @voicearena_ai Nice to see results we can actually reproduce on the public set.

[Sana yousaf @mathpuzzles87]

Five separate language boards, each with its own test set.

Multilingual claims are easy to make and now easier to check.

Great work @voicearena_ai

@shobhitbanga @voicearena_ai Useful to see how close the top US English models are before negotiating price.

[Sana yousaf @mathpuzzles87]

Worth noting the boards say scores compare within a language only.

Each board is its own test, which is the honest way to do it.

[Sana yousaf @mathpuzzles87]

@shobhitbanga @voicearena_ai Good input for anyone weighing realtime vs batch for their pipeline.

[Apoorv Shankar @lazyapprove]

What if your devices, apps and agents knew what you wanted?

You finish breakfast, and your Uber is booked.
Running late, your agent sends a “Running late” text.
You reach home, and your lights turn on.

AI is proactive now. But it still needs your yes. It waits, for you to unlock your phone, open an app and tap approve. Every time, hundreds of times a day.

AI needs its own interface.

Aina is a ring with a screen that predicts and shows you the three things you’ll need next. One flick of your thumb, and it’s done. For everything.

✦ Cues: proactive suggestions, ready before you need them
✦ Voice: talk to your agents, take notes, dictate
✦ Remote: control your music, Mac and TV
✦ Calls: right from your hand

Pre-orders open now
