What AI Dictation Tools Actually Are

What AI Dictation Tools Actually Are

Hi everyone! Please welcome this week's Maker's Corner feature, @themisty , Founder of @Nonilion

Feel free to chime in below in the comments with questions on his product or journey or anything else that comes to mind!

If you're interested in being featured in our Maker's Corner, please let us know here on this forum thread.

This is quite urgent as I'm launching apps back to back. I have some paid customers here and there and some OK traffic, but Im not sure what to pursue with more energy. What kind of conversion rates are considered "good" in order to pursue a product more seriously? When I say conversion rates I mean the following:

1. From landing page to app visit

2. From app visit to registration

3. From registration to paid customer

What numbers do you consider good? I haven't managed to find clear answers online.

PS: Im a solopreneur so I have limited resources, I cant be pursuing products that make no sense number-wise.

Announcing: Voice Agents course and online community ...

@swyx and I are hosting a month-long technical deep dive into Voice AI and Voice Agents, starting in May.
Our goals are to:
cover all the lessons we've learned over the last two years building realtime, conversational AI,
host fun sessions with all our favorite people who are doing related things,
and
build a long-term online community.
Sign-up link: https://lnkd.in/gnPuHyD4
We'll start announcing free credits for students on Monday. Sign up this weekend with promo code PHUNT for a super-secret Product Hunt community discount.
Last year I signed up for the LLM fine-tuning course taught by Hamel Husain and Dan Becker.
The experience was fantastic in every way. The material was great. The course expanded to cover way more than fine-tuning. It seemed like all of Twitter signed up. I met people in the course Discord that have become online and offline friends. Someone eventually dubbed the course "AI Woodstock." (I think credit for that goes to Swyx.)
We think this is the moment to try to create a similar thing for voice AI.
Voice interfaces are going to be a huge part of the near-future of computing. Voice agents are being deployed at scale today for a wide range of use cases.
collecting patient data prior to healthcare appointments
following up on inbound sales leads,
handling an increasing variety of call center tasks,
coordinating scheduling and logistics between companies, and
answering the phone for nearly every kind of small business.
I'm personally excited about voice interactions for games, realtime video, and voice-enabled programming environments.

Here's my hacked-together, messy, voice-based dev environment:

1. Voice-driven loop with screen-shotting so the LLM in the loop can see what's in my terminal and editor. The prompt varies depending on what I'm trying to drive with this loop.

2. A few tool definitions that give read access to files and URLs.

3. A tool the LLM can send a block of output to that generates keyboard events, so the LLM can drive any editor/terminal.

4. A separate process watching a directory and constantly making LLM-driven git commits. (git autosave).

I have some pieces of this running most of the time. But I'm lazy, and doing other stuff, and I also try to use a variety of editors and tools, to see what's good lately. Which ... no stability, so my hacked-together stuff is always broken.

I don't want to replace @Windsurf / @Cursor / Claude code. A seriously good agent and expert-system dev toolkit is a lot of work.

From TechCrunch:

"Windsurf, the maker of a popular AI coding assistant, is in talks to be acquired by OpenAI for about $3 billion, Bloomberg reported."

This is pretty crazy especially since the OpenAI Startup Fund is one of @Cursor 's biggest investors (source).

I m building landing pages for my next product and exploring AI UI tools that actually help ship faster.

Curious to hear what s working for you from the apps like Lobable or v0

I've tested both and cannot choose what tool is better to buy. Maybe there are better tools?

Most people phone it in on their 404 page. Some of you didn t. If yours has a little personality or went completely off the rails drop it here. Let s see who actually tried.

Here's ours! It cycles through different team member's pets because who doesn't love pets?

After hours of reading best practices, crafting the perfect assets and assembling what felt like a bulletproof plan, we were ready to launch on Product Hunt. We worked so hard and genuinely believed we d wake up to thousands of sign ups and the Product of the Day badge.

The reality was very different. We saw a tiny boost in sign ups, got stuck at around 200 upvotes, and to top it off, finished below a food blender.

While preparing for our launch and browsing the upcoming launches, I asked myself what the best move would be for choosing a day:

1. Pick a day when you have less competition (e.g., fewer products and/or fewer similar products).

2. Pick the day where the most products are launched. More products = more teams pushing = more people likely to discover your product.

One week ago, I noticed in one Facebook group (nich : Graphic design) this discussion post:
TL;DR: Due to AI advancement, he receives 70% less work as a graphic designer  freelancer.
