Most people building voice AI obsess over the model. The real unlock? Obsessing over the calls. I've listened to hundreds of AI receptionist recordings. Every awkward pause. Every "wait, what?" The craft isn't the best model — it's the feedback loop.

@elonmusk, Tesla’s seat sensors already detect passengers for seatbelt alerts - why not use that to smartly pick HOV lanes on Autopilot and FSD?

HeyGen for long-form UGC is f*cking insane 🤯 Everyone's hyped about Veo 3.1 for UGC videos. But there's one massive limitation: 8-second clips max. HeyGen solves this—and lets you generate 1-minute+ talking-to-camera UGC videos, at scale. Perfect for DTC brands & agencies who need long-form product testimonials without hiring creators. Here's the problem: Veo 3.1 creates amazing 8-second clips, but you need LONGER videos for product demos, testimonials, and full explanations. Stitching 8-second clips together looks choppy and breaks the flow. HeyGen solves it: → Creates 1-minute+ UGC-style videos → AI creators talk directly to camera holding your product → Natural testimonial delivery (not robotic) → Perfect for ads, landing pages, email campaigns → Generate unlimited variations with different scripts No hiring creators. No filming sessions. No 8-second limitations. What you can create: → 60-90+ second product testimonials → Talking-head demos with product in-hand → UGC-style reviews that actually convert → Multiple script variations for testing I recorded a 12-minute Loom walkthrough showing you exactly how to create these for your brand step-by-step. Want the complete HeyGen walkthrough? > Comment "HEYGEN" > Like this post And I'll send the Loom over (must be following so I can DM)

I never run out of content to post anymore. Built an automation that monitors 50+ news sources, scores articles for relevance, and writes social posts automatically. It finds trending topics in my niche before they explode everywhere else. Saves me 15-20 hours monthly and keeps me ahead of every trend. Comment "NEWS" and I'll DM it to you (must be following)

I am sick of spam calls! Has anyone built an AI for non-contact list callers. AI would: 1. Talk to caller 2. I can tell the AI if I am expecting a delivery or some call to pass through 3. AI would decide if spam or not and if not spam it would text me a summary

Consumers shouldn’t have to guess if the voice on the other end is real. Scams like these are terrifying — but they’re preventable with the right tech. Hiya AI Phone is an example: hiya.com/products/apps/…

Does there exist yet an AI phone receptionist that can answer and qualify calls, take messages and only ring me for urgent authenticated phone calls or ones directly from my friends and family? I want to switch my main number to an AI phone screener. Seems easily built.

@DoctorJack16 Main Tesla subjects will be scaling to extreme size, which is needed to shift humanity away from fossil fuels, and AI. But I will also Include sections about SpaceX, Tesla and The Boring Company.

Can’t wait to hear #TSLA’s master plan 3. The optionality, verticality, & exponentials @elonmusk & team can take the company is truly mind boggling at this point. All for the greater good of humanity. Why would anyone not invest in this once in a lifetime company!? 🤷

I feel fortunate to be able to witness this historical day. We've had 4 years of tumultuous administration and it officially ends today. God bless the new administration and God bless America. #InaugurationDay
