... things I enjoy most while building VertoX is seeing the technology improve week by week. Patrick Lumban Tobing , our AI/ML Engineer, recently integrated Qwen3-TTS Streaming into our Streaming Speech Translation framework, and honestly, it s exciting to watch everything slowly come together. Lower latency. More natural voice output. Better real-time multilingual communication. There s still a lot to improve, but seeing the system evolve like this is a great feeling. It also makes me appreciate how powerful ... ... open-source AI ecosystem has become. Huge respect to NVIDIA, Google, Qwen, and all the teams pushing this space forward. A lot more coming soon for VertoX

... everyone Yesterday, we officially registered VertoX AI. It s a small line on paper, but a big step for us, turning something that started as just an idea into a real company. Behind this are years of thinking, building, testing, and refining what VertoX

... everyone Got accepted into LvlUp Labs. 300+ startups applied. 15 were selected. I m one of them. Two days ago, we also officially registered VertoX AI. Now joining an accelerator focused on growth and fundraising. At VertoX

... everyone I didn t think I d get into an accelerator. I had no team, just an idea, VertoX. And then I got accepted. So I did what felt right at the time: I started building a team. That turned out to be my mistake. I spent around 3 months trying to build a local team. Around 8 10 people joined and left during that time. Some did very little, some did nothing, and overall progress was almost zero ... ... same time, the accelerator expected fast results, but VertoX

... everyone We re starting to open early access for VertoX. Not for everyone. If you ve ever had to: speak with clients in another language lose opportunities because of language barriers feel less confident just because it s not your native language This might be relevant for you. We re building real-time voice translation that keeps your voice, tone, and emotions. No scripts. No awkward delays. No robotic feeling. We re inviting a small group of early users ... ... test what we ve built. If you want in, comment VertoX

... everyone Wanted to share a small feature we re building in VertoX that I personally find really useful. We re not only focusing on real-time voice translation, but also: text-to-speech speech-to-speech speech-to-text Plus document translation. You ll be able to upload a file and get a clean translation, either as text or voice. I ve run into this problem many times myself. Voice translation tools are still not great, and document translation ...

... everyone I ve noticed something interesting. Many people don t fully understand VertoX when they first hear about it. At first, I didn t get why. Now I do. Because the world hasn t really seen something like this in a simple, usable form. Real-time communication across languages still feels broken. People often bring up existing solutions, like translation earbuds. But in real life, they don t solve the problem fully: You can t just share earbuds with anyone ... ... practical to use all the time Quality is inconsistent Voices sound robotic Even a few seconds of delay breaks the flow If one person doesn t have it it doesn t work So we started building VertoX

... everyone Quick update on VertoX. We ve made a lot of progress on the backend and core systems. We re building our own open-source ASR NMT TTS pipeline and aiming for ~1 second real-time translation. Right now, we support 17 output languages and 10 input languages, with plans to expand further. We re also working on voice cloning from the start, so translations keep your tone, emotions, and your actual voice. Plus, adding voice detection to make conversations ... ... finding what delivers the most natural result in real-time settings. Comment from Nemo Shakhverdiev(@nemos): @rianbrob Really appreciate it! Yeah, the idea is that instead of tools like Zoom or Google Meet, you ll be able to use VertoX

... months ago, we ran an experiment with our own data. At Rankfender, we tracked 5 of our own competitors across 8 AI systems. We log their share of voice, citation velocity, content gaps, platform variance. Months of raw numbers sitting in a dashboard. I pulled 6 months of data and fed it into Claude. One question: "Based on this, who is most likely to overtake us in the next 6 months? Show your work. Use the data. Don't summarize ... ... Give me the numbers." The answer changed how I think about competition. The dataset: 5 competitors

... everyone I recently discovered Product Hunt, and it really feels like one of the best places to launch a product and find your first real users. Right now I m building VertoX. It s real-time voice translation that lets you speak any language on calls while keeping your tone, emotions, and your own voice. For the first version, we re planning around 20 25 output languages and ~10 input languages, and then expanding as we grow. Feels like ...

Right now, I m working on VertoX, a real-time voice translation that lets you speak any language on calls while keeping your tone, emotions, and your own voice. We re currently building the demo and aiming to launch around April. The website isn t fully ready ...

... everyone I m Nemo, founder of VertoX. I ve always been interested in one problem: Why is it still hard to communicate globally? Right now, if you re on a call with someone who speaks another language, the conversation stops, and you just don t understand each other. So I started building VertoX

Expectations get fuzzy three days after a 1:1. I started building the Vertex Suite to solve this.

The same frustrating problems arise: Scenes that don t match Characters that subtly change Colors and lighting that drift unexpectedly Prompts that falter from Scene 1 to Scene 3, leading to wasted credits That s why we built Vertical Motion: a next-gen solution specifically designed for multi-scene storytelling. What Makes Vertical

... Long AI videos usually break for one reason: continuity. Characters drift, style changes, scenes stop matching. Vertical Motion fixes that with a production-style flow: Start a project Pick quality (locked per project): Standard (13 credits/sec) or Pro (34 credits/sec). Choose the Director s brain: Swift, Smart, or Genius. Most people should start with Auto + Smart. Describe your video Set mode (Auto, Plan, Build, Ask), scene count (your budget), and flow (new scenes or continuous). Then explain the idea ...

A big part of that comes from our AI Director Agent, which helps you build a complete workflow from ... ... make it longer.

... sidebar, modal flows also get awkward fast. And once you let critical actions live in floating UI, you start designing around hidden surfaces instead of resolving the main surface. The rule I actually enforced Everything expands inline or vertically. Configuration lives with the thing being configured. No detached overlays. No buried critical actions. Concretely that meant: Inline expansion and stacked panels instead of dropdowns Anchored drawers/flyouts instead of modal workflows Vertical
