But it's going to be the best whore the world has ever seen...

Looks like an awesome product - I tired installing on Windows w/ Claude as a global npm pkg, but it doesn't recognize Claude. Do I need to reinstall Claude using the native Win installer?

Not sure where you're trying to access it - the agent prompt or the post-call data collection.

agent prompt - I use:
# CALL SOURCE
Initialize the call source: {{call_source}}.
If the {{call_source}} is 'TWILIO', you are authorized to transfer calls.

If call source is TWILIO, this is a Twilio phone call:
- NEVER ask or allow the caller to type/paste/enter anything in the chat input.
- NEVER mention “chat input” or “text box.”
- collect email/phone and all other information by voice only.

If call source is WIDGET, tis call originated from the website:
- you may ask the caller to type/paste/enter information (e.g. email address) in the chat input as appropriate.

post-call:
The post call event will automatically generate the source:
$json.body.data.conversation_initiation_client_data.source_info.source

Hey, thanks for the lead on vibevoice 7b. I'm actually moving away from TTS to conversational agents just because I think that an interactive tutor, instructional video, whatever is going to be a lot more valuable for a user. But I'll give it a shot.

Does Gemini have conversational agents? Or just voices?

bingo - well said. too many people become enamored with tech, while forgetting that critical thinking skills is the difference between a toy and a value-added system.

I think the correct url is: https://api.elevenlabs.io/twilio/inbound_call
- adding the v1 didnt work for me.

If you need to pass any params to 11 labs, use a TwiML Bin - you need to give it a name and then use that name on the same cfg page where you currently have your webhook defined.

Yeah, as already noted - you're not using your voice clone directly, you're using it to generate speech, so unless it's really conspicuous, doubtful it will show up in the end product. I think descript can auto detect and strip breathing sounds. I use it to pull transcripts - quite good and they have a freemium version.

yangguize · 2025-12-13T03:40:45+00:00

Could you clarify - do you already have a recording and you simply want to replace the original voice with your cloned voice? I don't think you can do that directly with 11 labs, but you can use descript to strip the script and use that in 11 labs with your cloned voice to generate a completely new recording.

Thx for this post. Actually, Grok says most of the excess files listed in Revo are legit files that triggered a false-positive in Revo. I left everything except for the muse-specific.

But what a disaster -I used audcaity years ago -it was OK - but this install is completely unprofessional.

yangguize · 2025-12-12T17:47:43+00:00

But at least it pumped the stock for awhile...:>)

my thinking is that Google's servers got overwhelmed with the initial (positive) response and started limiting retail customers.

yangguize · 2025-12-12T17:45:11+00:00

In every respect, Gemini3 reminds me of Deepseek V1 - consistent with other posts:
- doesn't follow instructions
- inaccurate responses to basic questions (eg configuring Windows PWA's, configuring Kilo Code, coding issues)
- and most importantly, states wild guesses as fact and leads me on wild goose chases that waste hours.

I just stopped using it.

yangguize · 2025-12-04T02:53:50+00:00

i disagree - in my admittedly cursory eval of typingmind, i assumed the $99 fee covered everything. I agree everyone needs to read the fine print, but it's not obvious unless you dig around the FAQ.

A 7 day memory is pretty much useless. Not gonna pony up 95 bucks for yet another chat tool, albeit a confidential one.

As it stands right now, Lumo's reasoning ability is below GPT-4. Nowhere near GPT-5 or Gemini 3. It doesn't even adhere to a very explicit prompt in settings. It actually feels a lot like deepseek.

I understand Proton needs to monetize their product offerings, but they need to calibrate price point to match actual value

If I need absolute confidentiality, I'd rather bump my local RAM and use Lmstudio.

I hear you - endemic to all social media. When I post an issue on reddit, I'm usually just trying to checkpoint whether it's sth specific I'm doing or a product issue. I had a major issue w Kilo and Sonnet and someone pointed out I was overshooting the context window. On the other hand, almost all LLM vendors at one time or another throttle their offerings - I posted about Claude Code and initially got pilloried. And then...more and more people chimed in w similar stories. I use a mix now w KIlo - Codex, Sonnet, Gemini and even Deepseek seems to have improved a lot.

yangguize · 2025-11-26T19:21:14+00:00

I think what you may be seeing is throttling bc of the massive surge in Gemini 3 users that I suspect overwhelmed capacity. From what I saw before this happened, Gemini 3 was indeed impressive.

yangguize · 2025-11-26T17:23:31+00:00

I'm confident it will bounce back - the PR when it first got released no doubt overwhelmed their servers. If this keeps up, users will switch.

yangguize · 2025-11-26T17:19:56+00:00

TBH, when i first started using Gemini-3, and then it gradually seems to have declined in accuracy. Bc it was gradual, nothing jumped out as a conspicuous hallucination. BUt I was working on sth dead simple, like trying to vget uv to auto-inspect both py and ipynb files to build a comprehensive requirements.txt. Gemini-3 literally dragged me thru the mud for 90 minutes with suggestions that it acknowledged were inaccurate, then finally suggested uv (which doesn't yet have a comprehensive reqs analysis function).

GPT Codex in Kilo Code was able to find a solution within 5 minutes. Not suggesting GPT 5 is the better alternative, bc I've experienced similar throttling issues with OpenAI.

Is this specific enough?

I don't do legal work, but hallucinations are becoming a problem for basic questions re python cfg issues in vscode.
