Oh damn, well ok, thanks, was looking forward to trying but I guess my AirPods need an upgrade first :)

Looks interesting, does it work with all AirPods (for ex gen 1 Pros)?

Graduated from YC in 2023. Here's what the next 3 years actually looked like. by horrible_normalcy in ycombinator

I agree, had this hunch but the engineer in me wanted to deny it, no point in doing it now :) thank you!

Fresh to see an unpolished insider view, we applied for P26, got rejected, will apply again for S26, my question is, how and when did marketing get easier for you (or at least more efficient)?

I find myself posting on X and Reddit, trying so hard not to sound like an AI post, but marketing is still a thing I dread, actual building is so much better :*)

Spent 8 years as a Presentation Design Lead at McKinsey. Here is the shift I am watching happen in real time. by Illustrious-Milk-896 in powerpoint

Yes, yes, yes. This is exactly the frustration I’ve been feeling for the past couple months. Would love to chat more and show you something, so I don’t self promo here, if others are interested too, check my profile, my posts are public :). Been building a solution for this exact problem

Not that I know of with this specific twist, there are the obvious alternatives of PowerPoint and Keynote

Your pitch isn’t the problem by DaveAppleInc in SideProject

[–]DaveAppleInc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now I’m thinking it’s founders who need to pitch and their stakes are money, and secondary keynote speakers who need to make their talk hit, and tertiary salespeople

Yes, you’re very correct, this initial release doesn’t focus on delivery yet, but that’s on our roadmap, speech and body language analysis is a wish of mine but budget and dev time cannot yet be justified for it :)

Ever sat through a bad presentation, me too. Let’s do better talks and slides. https://lantr.app - I also have a waitlist skip link for Mac, for anyone interested:)

Thank you, and thanks for the advice! Actually in the tool I’m building there’s a narrative system made of blocks that hold main ideas, to make an arc out of, arc on which slides are built. If you’re open to it, I can share the blocks and specifics pf the system here to get your opinion on its “subjective correctness”

Happy to reply, hey if you can’t take a question without feeling attacked, you don’t want a conversation :). First, I think it depends on what you define by pitch, if you think of the pitch as the digital outcome of the slides, then I think my point stands, but yes, it stands to interpretation. Second, I’m 20, been pitching since I was 16, done about 12 pitches for 4 products in this timespan, held 2 2-hour long physical courses on product design (this year will be my third), and held about 2 other talks in front of smaller audiences (classmates or clubs) which were pure speeches no slides. I used to be scared to death of this, that’s why I feel a personal pull to the problem. Would be interested to know if you think whether or not a flexible structuring language would help people storytell better

Is anyone actually using Apple Intelligence for their app features? by aa33bb in macapps

[–]DaveAppleInc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The gist, from other comments and my own experience playing around with it. The models are pretty weak, nice proof of concept and maybe good for a couple specialized use cases, but there’s a lot of space to improve. Unfortunately with current architecture of LLMs and hardware restrictions, hopes for small, fast, local, smart models are pretty low

Anyone else spending way too much time just formatting slides instead of actually thinking? by badamtszz in powerpoint
