This project sounds cool, have you found customers who would be interested? Can the AI read the text in a way that sounds as interesting as a podcast?

Thanks!

No customers yet, except myself ^^

Some people/friends expressed interest, and I haven’t been looking for more right now.

Do you want to be customer #1? :D

There are some very good sounding AI models, but ones that would produce a very conversational, podcast-like quality & tone would probably be way too expensive to build a business model from.

Except maybe for a very premium tier… I guess I need more data and benchmarks to figure this out.

Still, open source models like Whisper already provide very good results!

Okay them showing interest seems like a good sign, just need to convert that to sales aha,

I am more of a reader I think,

That sounds promising then, I suppose as AI gets more advanced, it will get cheaper to get quality conversation sounding models too

Probably, we’ll see :)
