Show HN: I built an AI Voice assistant to debrief me on what matters every AM

https://dayli.xyz/
1•yinniechan17•16h ago
My co-founder and I recently went full-time on our venture and found it incredibly hard to keep up with all the notifications, emails, and calendar invites each morning. We were spending at least 30 minutes every day at our desks just sifting through everything to decide what was most urgent or time-sensitive.

We realised we could save so much time if we were given a daily debrief on what was most important before we even got to our desks – whilst getting ready or commuting (lack of signal on public transport makes checking our stuff on commute a nightmare). The traditional methods simply weren't working for those crucial "dead time" moments.

So we built an AI voice assistant with a simple idea: filter out all the noise and give us only the most prioritised and urgent information across our email, schedule, newsletters, and more. This way, we know exactly what to focus on the moment we start our day. The voice memo format is our key hypothesis because it allows us to listen and process information whilst doing other things (like getting to the office).

You can listen to our demo on our website.

Hi HN,

We built this due to our personal struggles, and after speaking to a number of founder friends, we realised many were facing the same issue. There's just too much digital noise and no efficient way of filtering it out.

We initially explored building a full-blown voice AI assistant (like Jarvis), but after testing on some founder friends, we found that a concise morning briefing was actually the most useful thing. (Plus, a full-out voice AI assistant would cost a lot more $$$)

We've used ElevenLabs for voice synthesis. The current voice might speak a bit slow for some people's liking, and we'll need to adjust the speed, accent, etc., but that's something we can easily optimise.

Our best guess is that there will probably need to be a level of personalisation on the source of information; e.g., if some people want particular news feeds or want to focus on a particular area - this is our current thinking as we explore future features.

Before building any more tough, we'd love your feedback on any and all aspects.

Hi, I tried the demo.

I did find it slow, but more importantly I didn't feel organized.

Currently, a simple list with my own shorthand notation works well as a reminder; it takes me 3 seconds to get a sense of my day.

But I liked how the site looks. Good luck!
