Post Description

It all started 4 months ago during my last startup. Even with barely any traction, I was getting about 20 emails a day. Some from cold randoms, some internal, some from prospects. And I just wasted so much time in my inbox.

The current solutions? Superhuman and HEY. Sure they're pretty but the ai is just an after thought. And the tool that was supposed to help me just makes me, my own assistant.

So I went and built Dirac.

We're launching in 8 hours, https://www.producthunt.com/products/dirac-3?launch=dirac-4

EqhoIDs – One API to give AI agents Telegram, email, and voice

Everything you need to make an AI 'person' is packaged behind a single API key: create an agent, push messages to Telegram/email/voice, and even convert/render 3D assets — the docs and SDK snippets make the happy path extremely fast. What I want to see next are the hard details (phone provisioning, rate limits, delivery guarantees, privacy/compliance) because the UX and feature mashup are compelling, but execution will hinge on infra and policy work.

Local Voice Assistant

This repo bundles a complete local audio loop — client captures audio, backend transcribes with Parakeet, queries a quantized Mistral LLM via Ollama, then renders speech with Kokoro or Qwen3-TTS for cloning — and reports ~1s round-trip on an RTX5070. It’s a practical, take-it-home demo for running privacy-first voice agents, though it’s still a demo: requires specific tooling (Ollama, GPU headroom), has obvious TODOs (VAD, better warmup for cloning), and isn’t reinventing the architecture.
