Show HN: Self-Hosted Social Media Agents with Raspberry Pi

https://www.microphone.computer/
1•Kriptering•42m ago
A while back I posted about a project I was working on for a real-time voice agent that runs ads on Meta to build conviction and prioritize side gig/business ideas (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48900788); you yammer away and it automates market research, problem statements and hypotheses. I've been working with some folks from HN on the app since then.

What we've been focused on building is a modern solo-founder GTM tool -- figuring out how to triangulate aspiration, problems only you can solve, and organic distribution in one solution. So, not building apps; but rather helping you figure out what you like and then connect you with the right people that can help you on your journey and find the communities to help you distribute it.

For the latter, I was impressed by the recent Grok bot launch; but didn't want Elon accessing all of our accounts to train on -- so I set-up dockerized social media agents that run at home on a Raspberry Pi. They'll do the same job as Grok for this but with your notes, memos, and ad data to inform what your agents do to help you find your audience -- online communities, people who need your solution, people who might be good to talk to about your idea, etc. computer use/openclaw style. Maybe this is lofty, but we're trying to use the internet as a social graph.

Microphone is still very much experimental/wip but if you're interested in trying and giving us some feedback, feel free to sign up on the https://www.microphone.computer/ and I'll get you set up on the app and can do zoom calls if you need help setting up your pi (I recommend the new 16gb ram ones but 8gb will work), running a simple curl will connect your account to the app.
