Happy Thursday! Question: If you could only bring three pieces of tech to a deserted island, what would you bring?... [Product Hunt]( [Read in browser]( [This newsletter is brought to you by]( GOOD MEWS Happy Thursday! Question: If you could only bring three pieces of tech to a deserted island, what would you bring? For me, it’s a phone, Starlink, and some kind of water desalination machine. Here’s some news: 🧠[Neuralink, Elon’s brain chip startup, has shown a patient using it to play chess](. 💸 [Reddit is set to IPO today with a stock price of $34 and a $5.4 billion valuation.]( 🌊 AI is helping to predict floods up to seven days in advance. [according to this report by Google]( PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT [This AI voice assistant is blurring the line between human and robot]( Have you seen the movie [Her](? The plot centers around a man who falls in love with Samantha —an AI-powered virtual assistant who lives in a phone. When Her came out in 2013, the premise was still reasonably far-fetched. Publically-available AI was very much in its infancy, but now the idea of Samantha suddenly becomes very real. [Vapi]( is a voice AI infrastructure tool built to allow developers to build, test, and deploy complex AI voice assistants in minutes instead of potentially months. It does this by being an API you can drop into your project with just a few lines of code. Once integrated, you can quickly customize it to suit a plethora of jobs like taking bookings at a barber shop, scheduling dental appointments, handling insurance claims — or whatever you need it to do, all via a human-like phone call. [Vapi]( used Product Hunt’s [new Shoutout feature]( to namedrop some of the tech that powers its services: [Daily.co](for its real-time voice infrastructure, [GPT-3.5 and 4]( for LLM capabilities, and [Deepgram]( for speech recognition — all of which come together to power Vapi. You don’t have to be a developer to try it out. Vapi takes a more interactive approach to showing off the product by letting you have a full-fledged conversation with an assistant on its homepage. I spent at least 30 minutes chatting with it, and [Interview Pen]( founder Benyam [uploaded a video]( where he had an hour-long conversation with Vapi.
