Demos & Talks
Talks, podcasts and voice apps I have built over the years, from a Samsung Bixby finalist pitch to Alexa skills that won a hackathon.
Featured talk
Samsung Bixby Developer Showcase: The Finale
Samsung ran a competition in 2018 for its new voice assistant platform. I was one of five finalists to pitch in San Francisco at the Samsung Developer Conference.
Voice AI agents
Genie: a voice-powered Akinator clone
A real-time guessing game where an animated genie talks to you. Think of a character, answer yes-or-no questions, and it guesses within 20. Built with LiveKit Agents, Deepgram, Cartesia and a lip-synced avatar. Read how I built it
More Examples
A few of the things I’ve built. They were a good way to learn what makes a voice experience feel natural.
Shell Game
Winner of the Alexa Hackathon grand prize. A voice version of the classic shell game: say where the ball landed, and the shells get faster as you level up.
Guitar Teacher
Hands-free guitar instruction, with a standard tuner, a video library, step-by-step lessons and a chord dictionary.
Dance Workout
A motion-enabled video and audio experience. Using Alexa Motion, the screen follows your movement.
Spice Rack
A virtual spice rack for when you are cooking. Ask what can replace basil or which spices go well with fish, and it suggests pairings.
