Show HN: A real time AI video agent with under 1 second of latency
Hey it’s Hassaan & Quinn – co-founders of Tavus, an AI research company and developer platform for video APIs. We’ve been building AI video models for ‘digital twins’ or ‘avatars’ since 2020. We’re sharing some of the challenges we faced building an AI video interface that has realistic conversations with a human, including getting it to under 1 second of latency. To try it, talk to Hassaan’s digital twin: https://www.hassaanraza.com , or to our "demo twin" Carter: https://www.tavus.io We built this because until now, we've had to adapt communication to the limits of technology. But what if we could interact naturally with a computer? Conversational video makes it possible – we think it'll eventually be a key human-computer interface. To make conversational video effective, it has to have really low latency and conversational awareness. A fast-

Launch HN: Hamming (YC S24) – Automated Testing for Voice Agents
Hi HN! Sumanyu and Marius here from Hamming ( https://www.hamming.ai ). Hamming lets you automatically test your LLM voice agent. In our interactive demo, you play the role of the voice agent, and our agent will play the role of a difficult end user. We'll then score your performance on the call. Try it here: https://app.hamming.ai/voice-demo (no signup needed). In practice, our agents call your agent! LLM voice agents currently require a lot of iteration and tuning. For example, one of our customers is building an LLM drive-through voice agent for fast food chains. Their KPI is order accuracy. It's crucial for their system to gracefully handle dietary restrictions like allergies and customers who get distracted or otherwise change their minds mid-order. Mistakes in this context could lead to unhappy customers, potential health risks, and financial loss

Show HN: An open source performance monitoring tool
Hey HN. We’re Jay and Vadim from Highlight.io ( https://highlight.io ). We’re building an open source [1] monitoring platform for web applications. Today we’re excited to be sharing a performance tool we’ve been working on, which helps you inspect the latency of code execution from the client to the server. As engineers at past startups, we often had to debug slow queries, poor load times, inconsistent errors, etc... While tools like Jaegar [2] helped us inspect server-side performance, we had no way to tie user events to the traces we were inspecting. In other words, although we had an idea of what API route was slow, there wasn’t much visibility into the actual bottleneck. This is where our performance product comes in: we’re rethinking a tracing/performance tool that focuses on bridging the gap between the client and server.

Hey, HN! We’re Neha and Kunal, co-founders of Just Words ( https://justwords.ai ). We help companies gain users through product copy optimization across any app surface or webpage, using inferences from past performance data. Here’s a demo video: https://youtu.be/e6PuRzHad7M , and a live playground: https://justwords.ai/live-demo . “Copy” in this context means short-form content such as landing page titles or email subject lines. Small and seemingly insignificant changes to these can lead to massive growth gains. We observed this on many occasions while working at Twitter. Tweaking a push notification copy from “Jack tweeted” to “Jack just Tweeted” brought 800K additional users to Twitter. However, coming up with the copy, testing it, and optimizing different variants across users would take us forever—sometimes months. There was no methodical way

Faced with the dilemma of contributing to such projects during work hours, I thought of a solution. That's when the concept of OpenPledge was born — a web platform designed to address this very issue by allowing users (or corporations) to financially support specific open source issues. Imagine, no more abandoned projects, and developers passionate about contributing to open source can now do so more seamlessly and as a full time job. OpenPledge has secured investment, and we're set to launch in February. Join us in shaping the future of open source sustainability.

Here’s a demo video that goes from a comment on Twitter to a working app in 10 minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TapOPO-Gv20 .
