Unfortunately, it looks like HN has given my little blog the hug of death. Should be back up soon

This would be WONDERFUL with a Spanish-native accent as a language tutor, but as you've already got English you should try marketing this to the English-learning world. There is a huge dearth of native English speaker interaction in worldwide language instruction, and it's typically only available to the most privileged of students. Your system could democratize this so anyone with an affordable fee (say $10-20/month…

Multilingual support is coming out shortly! Super excited to see all the awesome uses cases with this

Last time I checked it was not possible through Teams API call for video conferences, although it is pretty easy to set up a chat bot in Teams with a custom Copilot. I'd say that it looked more feasible through a plugin for Google Meet but there are too many hoops. I'd expect that to be reserved either for the host platforms or for selected partners.

Give us a few weeks and this will be possible!

It's mostly there today [0][1].

Felt like talking to a person, I couldn't bring myself to treat it like a piece of code, that's how real it felt. I wanted to be polite and diplomatic, caught myself thinking about "how I look to this person". This brought me thinking of the conscious effort we put in when we talk with people and how sloppy and relaxed we can be when interacting with algorithms. For a little example, when searching Google I default t…

Thanks for that insight. Brian here, one of the engineers for CVI. I've spoken with CVI so much, and as it has become more natural, I've found myself becoming more comfortable with a conversational style of interaction with the vastness of information contained within the LLMs and context under the hood. Whereas, with Google or other search based interactions I'm more point and shoot. I find CVI is more of an experience and for me yields more insight.

Why is it trying to autofill my payment cards? https://ibb.co/dp9hW58

That is your browser. Hassaan, you should add autocomplete="name" to prevent this in the future since clearly it scares some folks. He didn't do anything that its just your browser looking for autocomplete text boxes.

I’m having trouble understanding what CVI means here. Is it the firm Computer Vision Inc. (https://www.cvi.ai/)?

The firm in the post seems to be called Tavus, and their products either “digital twins” or “Carter.”

Not meaning to be pedantic, I’m just wondering whether the “V” in the thing you’ve spoken to indicates more “voice” or “video” conversations.

That is technically impressive, Hassaan, and thanks for sharing.

One recommendation: I wouldn't have the demo avatar saying things like "really cool setup you have there, and a great view out of your window". At that point, it feels intrusive.

As for what I'd build... Mentors/instructors for learning. If you could hook up with a service like mathacademy, you'd win edtech. Maybe some creatures instead of human avatars would appeal to younger people.
