@Zello and @ShokzUSA just shipped a co-designed PTT headset. Our customers had been pairing the two on their own for years - @Honda , Protection Civile 54, plenty more. I guess we finally caught up... https://t.co/0X3Q5uJLOP

Radios are great for ramp ops in the moment, impossible to review after. Unless you throw an AI digest on top. New case study from @Zello in Funchal, probably the hardest ground station in Portway's network:

Hackathon week at @Decathlon this week: ran a voice AI agent on the push-to-talk headsets associates already wear. No new device, no app, no training - just voice in, voice out, hands never leave the product. Eye contact with customer never broken. It was awesome! 🚀🤩

Rebranded @Zello 5 years ago. AI image gen still gives me the old brand every time. The models were trained well past 2021 — I guess the old brand just had a decade head start on the web. The Internet remembers who you used to be.

@onepeloton I remember the words of my favorite instructor, @BenjaminAlldis, and I start envisaging the penultimate minute!

@tferriss Hey @tferriss - we're Austin-based and we have a program through which we give our #pushtotalk #walkietalkie service away for free to First Responders around the country. We just extended it to the entire world - we've been processing application to the program every hour.
