A while back I posted about a project I was working on for a real-time voice agent that runs ads on Meta to build conviction and prioritize side gig/business ideas (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48900788); you yammer away and it automates market research, problem statements and hypotheses. I've been working with some folks from HN on the app since then.What we've been focused on building...

I’m maybe somewhere in between personally … I started with voice dictation because we were trying to quickly capture those random ideas when you’re getting out of bed or just having stream of consciousness thoughts. I would normally write out hypotheses and problems myself but I tend to get in my own head wording them and it’s been helpful to have microphone connect the dots so I can just test my strongest ideas quickly. As far as speaking about ideas in public, I live in NYC so maybe less of a problem here ;)

Stoked you feel this way Bob. Feel free to sign up for the beta and I’ll send you a link!

I am still in the early days, so happy to evolve it around the use cases that come up. For example, if you want to write your own hypotheses instead of dictating them.

If you are an aspiring founder, any VC will ask you this question: “why are you the only person who could solve this”. If you want to generate passive income with your side idea, get ready to enter a crowded market as everyone and their mother is shipping. Unless you have an active X account or you’re a TikTok sensation distribution is going to be tough.I just launched the trie.dev microphone...

Re:Get leads just by yammering away on Tuesday June 30, 2026 @01:11PM (#48735839)
new project im working on, microphone -- yammer away about your project ideas or your business and microphone finds your icp and qualified leads automatically as well as podcasts to help guide you to finding your ideal customers

I think we've gotten far enough with LLMs where we dont need to prompt any more for leads (connected a bunch of apis for enrichment and signals); leads are correlated with a context brain I made based on latour's actor - network theory

maybe too heady of an approch, but w/e it works; and the podcasts are fun to listen to

Trie lets consultants deliver the same work in a fraction of the time by automating the desk work behind pitching, relationship management, and final deliverables.

We wrapped agents around Google Drive so no need to adopt another workspace & helps you instantly index and mine your IP.

My co-founder and I want to enable “vibe working”.

In beta, looking for folks to help shape it and would love feedback: trie.dev
