For so many non-coding workflows, tool calling is more important.

It’s a great API. I use it in my app and it’s feels so much more accurate.

Show HN: Free on Device Meetings Summaries Right to Apple Notes

stevenhubertron — Mon, 13 Jul 2026 13:33:11 +0000

I'm a middle age dad and have big "I'm not paying for that when I can just build it energy" so instead of paying for a cloud service to store my meeting notes I spent hundreds of hours and built one myself and made it completely free. It works perfectly for my needs, perhaps it will for your's as well. Big props to Fluid Audio powering mine and so many of the paid apps diarization.

Repo here: https://github.com/drkpxl/better-voice I cleaned it up a bunch as I did like 30 iterations of this before I was happy with it.

Hi I built this things for myself because I didn't want to have both a dictation app and a meeting app I had to pay for. After sharing it with some friends they said I should put it out there since it's free and solves problem lotsa paid apps do. There are certainly some rough edges but would love your thoughts.

Same, I was just fighting it as it accused me over and over again of Ctrl+Cing a process that clearly errored out. 3 turns for it to find why the shell script actually crashed.

I grew up there. I was maybe 14 so I have some memory of how worked up the community was. I remember people talking about building a bridge to CT since there would be no other way to get people off the island. It was such a fierce time then, nothing compared to nowadays about seemingly anything though.

Can you say a bit more about this? The bad tool calling has made me give up on using Gemma for my Hermes and a personal recipe site. I have only downloaded from Ollama.

stevenhubertron — Mon, 22 Jun 2026 13:45:27 +0000

No one has really talked about hybrid and using Opus to plan and orchestrate GLMs work both through initial build and code reviews. That’s a true best of both worlds and there doesn’t need to be a winner.
