I've been creating products for over a year now, and this was one of those products that changed my day-to-day life. I use Claude and ChatGPT all the time for work, and I was always sick and tired of going into a chat window to do what I needed to do. I wanted to just talk to Claude wherever I was in any app, so that's what I did.

I took Hermes, FluidAudio, CUA Driver, WisprKit, and OpenWispr, put it all together, connected my Claude subscription, and now I just talk to Moe using the same subscription I've been using until now, and Moe talks back.

Let me know what your thoughts are.

Hey I think ElevenLabs clears. I use PocketTTS for Memoe (https://github.com/memoe-app/memoe)
I built Memoe because I was sick of opening Claude or ChatGPT every time I wanted to ask something. I wanted to just speak to my agent, so I decided to put together a couple of projects (like Hermes, FluidAudio, WisprKit, OpenWispr, and CUA driver) and put an agent in my Macs notch that runs on my existing Claude subscription. Feedback is welcome!
Thoughts?
In a world of abundance, things come easy and things come hard. With abundant food, man gets fat. With abundant money, man gets greedy, and with abundant agents, ads become useless.

One day with Claude at my fingertips, I built a pretty cool product called memoe.app. I myself found it useful, so I thought others would too. I tried to market it. I decided to spend $100 on X ads. At the end of the day, three people have clicked my link. That's an average of $33 per click for some random person to click my link, who is most likely just a bot. In the age of AI, we must rethink how marketing works. Products must reach humans. Humans engage. Companies stop paying for bots and start paying for humans, as we did all these years. Ad fraud is rising rapidly. There must be a solution, and I am bringing one forth to the world.

Instead of companies paying for impressions on LinkedIn, X, and Reddit, they pay to get their campaign read by a human.
Bot fraud will reach $172B by 2028, LLMs are only spiking that statistic, pay-per-click is not sustainable. We need a new system: companies can use nexertise.com to reach their ICP and verify each person engaged in the campaign. Why would anyone do this? Because unlike current ad channels that take all the advertisers money. You (the consumer) will get paid from the advertiser. Want to reach humans and catch their attention? Pay them for it. Want to monetize your time? Get paid for it.
Companies try to reach ideal customers on LinkedIn. They pay the platform for clicks. Why can't we create a system where companies pay the customer directly for their attention? Not the platform for clicks.
