This newsletter was brought to you byElevenLabs📱The Homescreen Club (ft. @DeRay + @Jack)
In our inaugural edition of Homescreen Club, we analyzed @Jack’s homescreen. Today, we look into the mind of @DeRay, civil rights activist and leader of the movement #BlackLivesMatter.
Let’s start. With 102k emails, 1.4k unopened iMessages, 3k Mentions, and 14 missed calls, people are trying to get a hold of DeRay, all the time. Upon further analysis, we found that:
• DeRay uses both Google and Apple Maps
• Is an expert in all forms of social media
• Uses Engage (a special Twitter app for public figures)
• Likes Spotify and parking lots (prime homescreen location)
• Uses Signal, an app for sending encrypted texts & phone calls

So we’re just… talking to software now?

ElevenLabs has been the go-to for voice for a while. Now they've turned that expertise into agents that actually get things done. You set one up, it talks like a real person, listens, responds, and helps handle the task — support calls, bookings, whatever the job is. Not a demo, not a "press 1 for sales" situation. It's ready to deploy. Feels like one of those shifts where the interface quietly changes. Less typing, less clicking, more just saying what needs to happen and letting it play out.
