I wear heavy-framed eyeglasses daily and happen to have very petite ears. I recently did a test run with a standard Behind-The-Ear (BTE) device, and the physical discomfort was unbearable. The thick arm of my glasses and the hearing aid were battling for real estate, physically pushing my ear outward and causing a massive headache within just a couple of hours!

Do any manufacturers specialize in extremely thin or aerodynamically contoured cases? Should I abandon the over-the-ear concept entirely and solely investigate custom In-The-Ear (ITE) options? My hearing specialist is heavily pushing the one brand they carry, but it is just far too bulky for my anatomy.

I would greatly appreciate any advice from fellow glasses-wearers who have limited space behind their ears. What actually works for you?

Hey everyone. I'm the person behind Invoko.

Here's what it does: you press a hotkey, speak a question about whatever you're working on, and it reads everything currently open across all your apps and answers. Gmail, Slack, docs, browser tabs, all at once. No setup. No importing anything first. No account.

A few things it can actually handle:

You look at your Slack and ask ""what should I focus on for the next two hours?"" It reads the threads and tells you.

You have been away for the weekend and say ""what do I need to know?"" It reads your Gmail and Slack and catches you up.

You are looking at a meeting request and say ""confirm this and add it to my Google Calendar."" It reads the screen, pulls the details, creates the event.

What it doesn't do: run in the background, store your data, require any setup before it's useful.

Free open beta at invoko.ai. Mac only.

This community is good at finding the premise that doesn't hold. What breaks it?

I’m booking a trip soon and I’ve been going through lodge options for days, but reviews genuinely make everything harder 😭

Every place either has people calling it amazing or saying it was disappointing in person, especially with the photos looking way better online sometimes. I ended up checking a few different booking sites and saw ExploreLodge mentioned during my search, but now I’m second guessing basically everything.

How do you guys usually figure out if a lodge is actually worth booking before spending the money?

I spend a lot of time testing AI tools for work and side projects, and over the last year I kept running into the same wall:

Every existing AI chat tool is fundamentally passive.

You bring context to it. You copy the email. You paste the doc. You summarize the thread yourself and then ask it to help you respond.

The problem I kept hitting:

Most AI tools have no awareness of what you're actually looking at. You send 4-5 messages setting up context that was already on your screen. No ambient awareness. No screen reading. No action across apps.

So I started building Invoko. What I'm working with:

Instead of paste-and-chat, something that reads whatever is currently on the screen when you invoke it. You press a key, say what you need done, it understands the context from what's open and executes across your apps.

""Catch me up from my Gmail this week."" Done.

""Summarize this video I'm watching."" Done.

""Save this to Sheets and send my team the link on Slack."" Done.

Free beta. Mac only. invoko.ai

Still early. The hardest part isn't the execution, it's explaining to people that this isn't another chatbot. Curious if others have tried building outside the chat interface paradigm.

Law student here. Most of my time goes to reading cases and precedents, and by the time I'm putting a presentation together I've been through 40 pages of material I need to distill into 10 slides.

The problem I keep hitting isn't slide design. It's going back through everything I read and figuring out what the presentation should actually say.

Tried having ChatGPT summarize my notes but the copy-paste workflow is slow when you're working across 6 open tabs and a PDF. By the time I've pasted everything in, I've spent more time setting up the context than thinking about the actual argument.

Started using Invoko for this, I keep all the sources open, say ""summarize the key argument from what I'm reading and what I should lead with,"" it reads across everything open and gives me the outline I actually needed. Takes maybe 10 minutes instead of 45.

Anyone else doing something similar for research-heavy work?
