Show HN: Tikpal- Your AI Voice Partner – Focus, Flow, Forge

https://tikpal.ai
1•bingbing123•2mo ago
We’re building Tikpal, an AI voice productivity tool based on a simple principle: Human creativity should remain the core engine. AI should be an accelerator, not the protagonist.

The goal is to reduce screen dependency and cognitive fragmentation, and let people work in a more natural “voice-first” flow. Instead of clicking through interfaces and context-switching between apps, you talk to Tikpal, and it helps you think, structure ideas, and execute tasks.

Three layers we are focusing on:

FOCUS — Tools like Pomodoro, breathing cues, ambient audio, and micro-interactions to create sustained high-focus intervals.

FLOW — Voice-based reasoning and ideation built on your personal knowledge base + memory. Designed for analysis, planning, decision-making, and creative thinking.

FORGE — Execution layer: drafting, email, planning, project steps, with direct integration into systems like Gmail, Notion, Todoist.

The mission is not to replace human work. It’s to remove friction—digital distraction, window-switching, and tool overhead—so humans can do deeper, higher-quality thinking.

Would appreciate feedback from this community. Especially around use cases where voice interaction > keyboard interaction, and how you’d think about building reliable AI workflows without over-automation.

Hi there! I tried reaching out via hello@tikpal.ai, but the email bounced back saying the address doesn't exist yet—just wanted to give you a heads-up so you can fix it!

I have two quick questions regarding the subscription and API specs:

Core Subscription: Which specific LLMs are running the default agent? Is it OpenAI-based, Gemini, or something else?

BYO Keys: You mentioned users can "bring their own APIs." Could you clarify which providers are currently supported? (Specifically looking for Gemini vs. OpenAI support).

Thanks and good luck with the campaign!

Hi bingbing123, I love your vision for Tikpal and the focus on reducing cognitive load through voice interaction. Many businesses struggle with tool sprawl, and AI Navigator can help streamline your software tools and subscriptions. If you're interested, I'd be happy to share our free scanner to see how we can assist you.
