Developer Builds Multilingual English Practice Voice Agent for Indian Users

·1 views

A developer created SpeakEasy AI, a voice-based AI assistant designed to help Indian users practice English through natural spoken conversations. Built as part of the Murf AI Voice for Bharat Challenge, the tool supports English, Hindi, and Hinglish to accommodate users with varying levels of English confidence. The system uses Python, LiveKit Agents, Murf AI for voice generation, and a FastAPI and Next.js stack, combining speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and LLM-based conversation. A conversational routing feature allows the main agent to redirect users to specialist agents, such as a dedicated maths practice assistant. The project also includes a basic call analytics dashboard and is planned for further development with improved memory, more specialist agents, and expanded multilingual support.

Developer builds browser-only dev tools after realizing he kept leaking production JWTs

A developer has launched a free, browser-based toolkit at devtools-hub-sigma.vercel.app after recognizing a personal habit of pasting sensitive data, including production JWTs, into random online tools. The site offers eight utilities — including a JWT decoder, JSON formatter, Base64 encoder, and cron parser — that run entirely client-side with no backend involved. The developer noted that most free online tools unnecessarily send user-pasted data to remote servers, even though browser APIs like atob() and JSON.parse can handle the work locally. Because no server is in the processing path, there is nothing to log, offering a stronger privacy guarantee than a policy-based promise. The project was built using Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind, and shadcn/ui, and is deployed on Vercel.

Developer Builds ArthMitra, a Hindi-English Voice Agent for Financial Literacy in India

A developer has created ArthMitra, a voice-first financial literacy assistant called Anisha, designed specifically for Indian users who can interact in Hindi, Hinglish, or other native languages. The agent was built during the 10 Days of Voice Agents — VoiceForBharat Edition, using Deepgram for speech recognition, Groq's Llama 3.3 as the language model, Murf Falcon for text-to-speech, and LiveKit for real-time audio streaming. Key features include tools that fetch live currency exchange rates, check eligibility for government schemes like PMJDY and Mudra, and retrieve current bank interest rates from a local dataset to prevent AI hallucinations. The developer addressed code-mixed pronunciation issues by enforcing native Devanagari script in the system prompt, ensuring accurate text-to-speech output. The project is open-source, with setup instructions and code available on GitHub for others to build similar voice agents.
