How it started
It's no surprise nowadays that my subscription costs are through the roof, mainly on AI tooling. So, I wanted to see if I can start building my own replacements and cutting some costs down.
What is Sayso?
Is a platform that logs all dictations, allows you to copy any dictation to the clipboard, and also cleans up the "ums" and "erms" to sound much more coherent - for myself at least.
What can it do?
There is semantic search and you can find specific recordings with ease.
Recordings storage
Sayso stores all of your recordings verbatim, shows you where it edited certain filler words, and for the saucy people out there you can listen to the recording.
I found this feature useful where I liked the output of a certain prompt and can revisit it with ease using the copy feature, and then pasting it into the agent of my choosing.
Dictionary
You can help sayso help you by changing the output of some of the words/names you're saying if the pronunciation is more difficult or shorthands.
Snippets
Snippets allows you to use a shorthand phrase, like "standup" and can give it the rule to structure a standup post for you.
How it's built
This was planned and built using Claude Code, with the Mobbin MCP for dashboard analysis and inspiration, and iterating a lot in Paper to get the design where I wanted it to be.
I used HeroUI as my design system foundation and then remixed the components.
What's next?
I'm now working on a mobile app version which will be synced up to the main dashboard and my computer - allowing me to converse with my agents when I'm not at home.
