Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Tim. For the last 20 years I've worked in film, television, games, and interactive experiences, creating characters people connect with. A few years ago I started wondering: What if you could stop watching characters and start talking with them? That's what became Ravecho. Today, you can have spoken conversations with some of history's most fascinating people. Ask Einstein to explain relativity like you're five. Ask Abraham Lincoln about the weight of leadership. Ask Cleopatra how she wants history to remember her. But Ravecho isn't just another AI chat app. Every character is built from biographies, writings, speeches, and historical records, then brought to life with conversational AI and voice technology. The goal isn't to generate answers. It's to create the feeling of sitting across from someone and having a genuine conversation. A few things people seem to love: 🎭 AI Dinner Party: Put up to five historical figures around the same table and listen as the conversation unfolds. Tesla and Edison still can't agree on much. 🎓 Learning through conversation: History becomes a lot more memorable when you're asking the questions yourself. 🎙️ Natural voice interaction: Speak naturally and hear responses back in real time. But the feature I'm most excited about isn't actually the historical figures. It's where this technology can go next. One day, I want future generations to be able to sit down and hear the stories, memories, and personality of their family. Grandchildren asking questions their grandparents never got the chance to answer. Family stories that don't disappear when someone is gone. The historical figures are the beginning. The bigger vision is preserving conversations that matter. Ravecho is completely free to try, runs in your browser, requires no signup. I'd love your feedback, ideas, and questions. I'll be here all day. Cheers, Tim

Why I built Ravecho

Hi guys,

I built Ravecho (https://ravecho.com), a web app for real-time, spoken AI voice conversations. I've been working on it for around a year solo.

Instead of typing back and forth in a text box, you talk directly with AI portrayals of historical figures (Einstein, Lincoln, Cleopatra), classic literary characters, events, or cloned family voices.
