So honestly Iv not used the ai studio much , but from what I see it can basically make something equal to a "skill" in Claude or codex

But what limitations have you seen?

I built my own b2b email system that finds signals across a ton of places and builds a dynamic proposal and video for leads that are interested.

Not selling it , but I was going to make a ghl plugin to give that power to ghl users . But what's the point if it's already easy to build it in the studio

So want I want to know is what's possible with the new system? Can it use apify / serp scrapers? Does the email still use SMTP and not Gmail to Gmail for better delivery? Can it identify buying signals and recruiting signals?

I'm not too bothered if iv wasted my time building it , adds to my portfolio hahah

so like most of us we are all building tools, im about to hit up a network meeting and i found it difficult to show a demo video of my software as it was loud.

i decided on a page that uses scroll animations with gsap and three.js, but needs to have text at the same time and no audio. i also wanted to show it passing data to the mobile app then continue on there. all using just two 1-2 min screen recorded videos.

First, I asked Claude to create a kind of script / or just what features I should show. Then I used OBS to record myself with me narrating along as i go.

After that it was a case of using the claude-video git repo + whisper + fable 5 to make a nice skill to /watch the video with my voice and transcript then use remotion skill to cut it up a little.

then it was a bit of a challenge getting it to place nice but got there in the end!

How would you have done it?

or would you just use demo videos with audio?

i feel like during a launch id rather share something cool like this ....but maybe its just cool to me and clients dont care! ill let you know after the meeting today!

The Stack.

Four brains, three wallets,

one review discipline.

A multi-driver AI development system built on Claude Code + herdr — engineered to stretch a Max subscription, catch what a single model misses, and never over-run the task it was given.

id love to know what you think

Tested something interesting this month: tracking response rates based on what triggered the outreach.

We tracked 500 outreach attempts across 3 channels (email, LinkedIn, phone). The variable was the trigger, some prospects were contacted because "they fit the ICP" (static list), others because of a specific signal (hiring for GTM roles, recent funding, competitor expansion, etc.).

Results:

• Static ICP: 2.1% response rate
• Signal-triggered: 8.7% response rate

But here's the weird part, the signal-triggered ones didn't just respond more, they booked meetings at 3x the rate. My theory is that when you reach out because of something they just did (hired, raised, expanded), you're catching them in "buying mode" rather than "deleting cold emails mode."

Anyone else tested trigger-based vs. list-based outbound? What signals are working for you?

I build SignalEngine. On the side I made a free tool called PipeVoice: push-to-talk voice typing for Windows. Hold a key, talk, let go, and the words type where your cursor is. Terminal, browser, chat box, anywhere you type.

I'm posting here because the cleanup pass can run on a local Ollama model. After it transcribes, an optional polish step strips filler and fixes punctuation. You point that step at whatever model you've already pulled in Ollama instead of an API.

Pair it with the Local Whisper engine for transcription and the whole loop stays on the machine. No audio leaves your PC. No text either. Pull the network cable and it still works.

There's also a "Voices" feature that reformats one spoken sentence per target: flat for the terminal, tidier for Slack, fuller for Outlook. My actual day is dictating prompts to Claude Code and Cursor in the terminal instead of typing them.

Free, MIT, no account, no telemetry. I'm the maker. Tell me what you'd change, and which Ollama model you'd wire in for the cleanup step.

I built this because I stopped typing into the terminal when talking to Claude Code and Cursor. Now I hold a key, talk, let go, and the words type where my cursor is. Terminal, browser, chat box, anywhere you type.

It tidies the text for things like Slack but keeps it flat for the terminal. An optional cleanup pass strips filler and fixes punctuation.

Stack: pick your transcription engine (Gemini free by default, Groq Whisper, Deepgram live streaming, or Local Whisper offline). Cleanup runs on Gemini, OpenAI, OpenRouter, or a local Ollama model. Bring your own key.

Run Local Whisper plus Ollama and it goes fully offline. No audio and no text leaves your PC. Pull the network cable and it still works.

Free forever, MIT, no account, no telemetry. Windows 10/11 only.

I'm the maker. Tell me what you'd change, especially if it breaks on your setup.

I'm the maker, so I'll be upfront: I built this for my own typing load, not from lived disability experience. I'm a developer who talks to coding tools all day, and I got tired of typing. It's hands-free, any-app dictation. I think it might be useful for voice-first workflows, so I'd rather hear honestly from this community where it falls short than guess.

What it does: hold a key, talk, let go, and it types where your cursor is. Not into a separate window you copy out of. Straight into whatever you're already in: a terminal, a browser, a chat box, an email field, anywhere you type.

A few specifics that might matter for assistive use:

• One hotkey to hold. No clicking through a UI to start or stop. Release the key and it types.
• It works in any app, because it types as if it were a keyboard rather than living in its own window.
• "Voices": it can reformat the same spoken sentence per target. Flat for the terminal, tidied up for Slack, fuller for Outlook. Same words in, different formatting out depending on where you're sending them.
• An optional cleanup pass strips filler words and fixes punctuation.
• Fully offline path: with Local Whisper plus a local Ollama model, no audio and no text leaves your PC. You can pull the network cable and it still works. No account, no telemetry.

Honest limits I already know about:

• Windows 10/11 only right now. No Mac, no Linux. If your AT setup is on another OS, this is a non-starter, and I'd want to know that.
• It's push-to-talk, so you do need to hold a physical key. That suits some people and rules out others. If a sticky-key or toggle mode would make it usable for you, that's exactly what I want to hear.
• The default transcription engine is cloud (Gemini, free), so the privacy claim only fully holds on the offline Local Whisper plus Ollama path.
• I haven't tested it against screen readers or with switch access, and I don't want to overclaim there.

It's free forever and MIT open source. Captions are on the demo if you'd rather read than watch.

I'm not after praise. If you try it, or even just look at it, tell me the first thing that breaks for your setup and what you'd change.

Heads up, this is my own project. It's called Pipevoice, it's free and open source. I built it because I wanted voice typing on Windows I could keep on my own hardware instead of feeding my mic to whatever cloud was cheapest that month. Wispr Flow is the closest paid thing and it's $144/yr, which finally annoyed me enough to write my own.

​

The part that matters for this sub: the whole pipeline can stay local. Transcription runs on local Whisper. The optional text cleanup runs against your own Ollama box. Point both at local and nothing leaves the machine. No account, no telemetry, nothing to opt out of because there's nothing reaching out in the first place.

​

The flow is dead simple. Hold a hotkey, talk, let go, and the text drops in as real keystrokes wherever your cursor is. Doesn't matter if that's a terminal, your editor, or some random browser field. A second hotkey sends it to the clipboard instead. I also set up per-app profiles, so in my terminal it skips cleanup and auto-presses Enter, while a chat window gets the tidied-up version.

​

Don't want to run models locally? You can point transcription and cleanup at your own API keys instead. Deepgram or Whisper for the audio, Gemini or OpenRouter free tiers (or your own keys) for cleanup. Either way the audio only ever touches the provider you picked. It never comes to me. But the local Whisper + Ollama path is the one I actually run when I don't want anything off the box at all.

​

Windows 10/11, lightweight tray app, no Electron. There's a 3-min demo in the post that walks through the offline path and the per-app profiles. Source is on GitHub, link's in a comment so this doesn't trip the filter.

​

Mainly posting to get holes poked in it. If you already self-host Whisper or Ollama, tell me what's missing for it to slot into your setup, and whether the local-only path actually behaves the way you'd expect it to.
