Show HN: Production duplex speech model for revenue calls

https://metavoice.io/

Hi, HN, we’re building Mia & Leo: AI personalities backed by purpose-built duplex speech models for revenue calls.Teams building real-world agents told us that more than 40% of callers hang up within the first 30 seconds. On a revenue call, that meant a lost booking, an unpaid balance, a cold lead, or a customer who does not come back.This happens because humans interrupt, correct dates,...

I think what made it worse here is that depositors of SVB were undiversified... If you had a bank that held deposits from various kinds of people, it's less likely that all of them would want their money out at the same time unless there was some of kind of widespread change in sentiment towards the overall financial system.

Show HN: Tortoise TTS as an at-cost open-source pay-per-second API

https://twitter.com/vatsal_aggarwal/status/1612536547248836608

Tortoise TTS is the best TTS available today. We built an open-source, at cost, pay per second API for it. The quality of intonation it generates is unparalleled, and we hope our at-cost API will make it easier for people to build on top!This allows folks to run via a single API call - it costs $0.03/query. The WAV file is downloadable, we apply no restrictions.We're open-sourcing all our work...
