What AI Dictation Tools Actually Are

Hi Everyone!
Solving AI audio end-to-end means tackling both generation and understanding - from text-to-speech to speech-to-text and everything in between. At ElevenLabs, we re working on breakthroughs in AI audio that bridge research and real-world use.
Ask me anything about what we re building, the challenges of scaling AI speech models, and where this space is headed. Also keen to hear what you ve built with ElevenLabs!

I was recently talking with a group of founders, and we went around sharing tools we're using now. Posting my notes for our community here - would love to know what else people are using!

Voice AI toolkit:

- Vapi

I'm looking for tools to help me brief clients and get their answers in voice format. Recently, I found @Yapz It really impressed me. Simple to use, the delightful format of briefing people, only a positive experience. The only downside is that I cannot see the whole call transcript, which is crucial for me. Are there any free/cheap AI alternatives that makes summaries of answers and saves transcripts at the same time?

Real-time voice AI is young, and the tools and infrastructure that will power its future are being built right now.

After working with and speaking to hundreds of teams building voice AI agents, we ve learned a lot.

Me First

ChatGPT & Cursor

With so many AI tools popping up every week, I m curious:

Which ones have actually stuck around in your workflow?

• Are you using anything for image/video generation?

• Got an underrated writing or code assistant?

• Something that helps automate tedious stuff?

Would love to hear what s been useful (or surprising)!

I am attempting to observe what you use for coding. I have come across many tools on Product Hunt + Web, but I am fairly certain I have missed quite a bit.
I divided them into "traditional" and "specialised".

Traditional AI models:

DeepSeek

If you had to make image or video with sound to publish what tools would you use? What type of content do you (or would you) produce with those tools?

Some tools I'm thinking of are

• @Sora by OpenAI for video

• @Suno.ai for music gen

• @ChatGPT by OpenAI for image gen

• and maybe something like @ReelFarm for UCG-esque automated content.

Hi everyone,

One year ago, we launched on this platform with a vision to transform voice AI. Today, Vapi has grown to 100,000+ developers and recently raised our $20M Series A.

In the last few days, I have seen many AI tools for creating audio-visual, and even people in my feed shared short movies created by AI (Hollywood will probably cut costs quite a bit in the next few years).

What is your experience with AI video generators, and which ones do you find the best?
(In terms of which AI tools have given you the best video results.)

There are so many new AI agent platforms ( @Wordware @Lindy @CrewAI @zapier and so on) that I'm finding myself curious how everyone is using them.

What AI agents are you using in production? What do they do? Are they working and reliable? What would make them better? Are they replacing roles? Augmenting existing ones?

I really enjoyed this breakdown by @raphaelschaad and @aaron_epstein (YC partner):
