murmur is Apple's App of the Day in the US today!

Wow, still a bit surreal to see it on the Today tab.

Quick recap for anyone who missed the launch (it hit #7 here that day): murmur is a flight simulator for phone calls I built solo: you rehearse the calls you keep putting off - a job interview, calling the doctor, telling your mom you're changing the major - with an AI that talks back and pushes you a bit, and then provides feedback.
There is a lot of stuff going on behind the curtains to make it as smooth as it is: hundreds of AI evals and simulated conversations, end-to-end testing, that kind of stuff.

murmur - practice tough phone calls with AI before you make them

Dreading a phone call? Practice it first. Murmur is an iOS app that lets you rehearse real-life phone calls with AI before making them for real. Call your doctor about test results, negotiate rent, prep for a job interview, or handle a difficult return - in a safe, judgment-free space. Pick a scenario (40+ built-in, or create your own), have a real voice conversation with AI, get instant feedback on what you said and how to improve. Not a chatbot - a real voice call simulator with AI coaching.

murmur got the ElevenLabs startup grant

A small but very nice update from the murmur corner of the internet:

A week after launch on Product Hunt, murmur got the ElevenLabs startup grant! Given that it's built around practicing awkward, important, and often slightly dreadful phone calls out loud, this feels especially fitting.

Just wanted to say thank you again to everyone here who supported the launch, upvoted it, commented, or gave it a try. Product Hunt gave the app a real push early on, and this is one of those moments that makes the whole thing feel a bit more real.

The grant should help me keep improving the voice side of the experience and give the app a bit more room to grow without immediately putting the brakes on everything.
