Show HN: Assindo – [Android] AI Assistant to handle your phone calls

Hacker News - Thu, 11/21/2024 - 10:28am

Hi HN,

I created Assindo, an AI virtual assistant in MVP stage to automate phone calls for busy professionals and parents. Balancing work with personal responsibilities left me losing time to missed calls, hold times, and scheduling tasks. Hiring a human virtual assistant was costly, so I built Assindo to automate and manage these phone-based tasks, freeing up my focus while ensuring no important call or task slips through the cracks.

### How It Works

- Outgoing Calls: Assindo can schedule appointments, handle customer service calls, and make reservations, navigating IVR menus and managing hold times. - Incoming Calls: It transcribes messages, summarizes key info, and sets up follow-up tasks – so no critical call is missed.

### Next Steps

I applied to YC 2025 (fingers crossed!) and am looking for early adopters to try Assindo and share feedback, as well as suggestions on new features to improve the experience.

### What is new ?

We have shared that we have launched a web version 2 weeks ago. Today, we are thrilled to share we have released the Android app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ai.asindo.beta.... Note: currently available only for the US and Canada.

visit assindo.com for more info. Thanks, and I’d love any feedback!

iOS will be released in few days, you can join the wait list: https://www.assindo.com/waitlist

Stop sending audit and access logs to a graveyard

Hacker News - Thu, 11/21/2024 - 10:22am

Hi HN, let me run a thought by you.

Have you ever thought that sending your users access and audit events to a data graveyard (aka log storage) is a bad idea? I certainly have! What if you could aggregate the audit and access events to your users data? This would make it far easier to understand and aggregate what your users are doing, leading to better insights and actions.

We at Zitadel recently raised $9M (1) to further this vision—an identity system that not only stores users and provides authentication but also helps you understand your users and their risk better. Imagine extending auth SDKs to not only check authentications/sessions/tokens but also to send events of what users do. With this well-structured data, it becomes easy to create forensic reports, usage reporting, and even threat intelligence.

While we're just getting started on building the security analytics capabilities, Zitadel already solves a lot of the plumbing work around authentication, authorization, and single sign-on, even in multi-tenant scenarios with full support for self-hosting—all in a nice open source package (2).

How does that sound to you? Let me know your thoughts; happy to discuss here, Florian

Show HN: Hook – Webhook Notification Tool

Hacker News - Thu, 11/21/2024 - 10:21am

As an indie developer, I’ve just launched my third iOS app – this time, something I built primarily for myself. It’s a simple tool for receiving webhook notifications directly on your phone.

The app generates a unique webhook URL, and anytime it’s called, you get a push notification with the payload. It’s great for tracking API events, debugging, or just keeping an eye on your projects in real time.

Features:

Push notifications with full payload details. Event history for reviewing past webhook calls. Hosted backend, so there’s nothing to maintain. It’s lightweight and meant to solve a small but practical problem I’ve faced in my own projects. I’d love to hear your feedback—what works, what doesn’t, and what could be better.

Looking forward to your thoughts!
