True, that is the biggest problem we have with any service. There are lot of bad players that ruin it for everyone else.

I agree. The very first demo google gave was their agent making a hair appointment. However, the focus of the current crop of AI services seems to miss out the larger population that still relies on phones to make appointments and other day to day activities. They are focused on MCP, api integration and other device-to-device links that they miss out on device to human link that majority relies on.

I don't have this service available for general public so not trying to grow but asking for feedback on if is even worth taking it there.

Developing a professional looking website in half a day has become truly possible due to AI.

I agree, keeping the spam off the tool is the hardest part. I have put in place a whitelisting of phone numbers. But that will all be thwarted by a determined spammers.

The more I read about healthcare regulations, I feel like I should just keep it as a tool for my parents and family. It does seem like a minefield of potential penalties albeit set up for the right intention but it keeps small players out.

Thank you for your kind words. The task of managing health related appointments for aging parents, kids, and your spouse itself is a full time job for some. I was hoping to get a handle on this with a tool like this.

I am using this landing page to get feedback from people if a service like this becomes available. At this moment, the service is not setup for scaling. Deep in everyone's mind there is a feeling that something that you did as a hobby can be more than that. The reason for this ask is to get a feel for that or just keep it where it is now.

I put together this website using replit. It hardly took me half a day to pull together the content for this site. The intent was to give you all a look and feel of how it would work.

I developed a telephony agent service to help my aging parents, who aren't fluent in English, navigate their healthcare needs. My parents simply talk to the agent, which I call Maya, in their native language. Maya then understands their requests and handles the outgoing calls to various offices and providers in English. So far, it's been an invaluable resource for them, helping with three key tasks: Scheduling doctor's appointments across multiple insurance plans. Checking pharmacy readiness for medicine pickups. Arranging transportation (both medical and non-medical) through services like CalOptima and OC ACCESS. The system uses a straightforward tech stack on AWS, combining separate ASR, LLM, and TTS models. It's a pragmatic solution I built because I couldn't find an existing service that fit my specific requirements. It’s been so useful for my family that I'm starting to wonder if this could help others in similar situations. What do you think, Hacker News? Is there a broader need for a service like this? I'm looking for your honest and brutal feedback on whether I should pursue this full-time.

Note: due to lack of scaling resources, only messaging works for general public. if you would like to test voice, I am happy to add you to whitelisted phone numbers.

Thank you for the feedback. I am big fan of analog meters. I still have an old cathode ray oscilloscope with 20MHz bandwidth

3N2P motor is not a popular configuration for the same reason as you are experiencing with starting. It is harder to sustain continuous rotation. I included that in the simulator to help bring focus to that. The sudden jerk in the motor when adjusting the frequency is what you will experience with real motors too if the frequency is adjusted without taking care of the current commutation phase of the motor.

You can try that out in the simulator under the sinusoidal commutation. By adjusting the drive voltage, you can bring the direct current of commutation as low as possible while keeping the quadrature current and hence the torque constant. You may also play with locking the commutation frequency and drive voltage to understand how constant V/F controls work.

Thank you for the feedback. I went with the knob for my affinity for everything analog. I can make it look like a retro slider. I agree with you on making it mobile-friendly.
