  • Amazing podcast

    Jonathan’s conversational style makes for engaging listening. His ability to articulate complex concepts in an accessible manner allows listeners of all tech levels to engage with and understand the content. Moreover, the impressive roster of guests—ranging from tech industry leaders to blind tech users—provides diverse perspectives and insightful discussions. Just found it from listening to the Hearsee episode.

  • Knowledge is power

    These cats are great. They have so many years of experience with tech. When you think about it, this kid at 21 has almost 20 years of experience using these devices, apps, and programs.

    These guys are so articulate and quick with their references. I would ask them anything and trust their advice.

    They seem like nice guys. I would like to meet them sometime and pick their brains.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sriram Ganesh from Luminade: Voice First, Email Second
Q: How does Lumen handle language barriers and translations in emails?
Lumen supports more than 20 languages and can translate incoming content to the user's native language while composing responses in the user's preferred language, sending the reply in the original language of the recipient.
Sriram Ganesh from Luminade: Voice First, Email Second
Q: What about privacy and data security when using a voice-based email assistant?
Lumen does not store emails on its servers, uses secure connections to access emails, and keeps user data anonymous. Users can disconnect their email at any time, and the system is designed to minimize data exposure while enabling troubleshooting through aggregated, non-identifying usage data.
Sriram Ganesh from Luminade: Voice First, Email Second
Q: Can you describe how Lumen works and how a user would interact with it for reading and replying to email?
Lumen connects securely to the user's Gmail and provides a simple interface with just a few buttons. Users can start a voice-driven conversation, talk to Lumen as if it were a person next to them, and let it read, summarize, or compose emails, including handling attachments and browsing for information when appropriate, all without exposing unnecessary web access.
Shawn Keen: Hum a Song, Build the Future
Q: How did your stroke influence your approach to technology and AI?
It shifted my focus from hands-on speed to creative problem solving, using AI to compensate for dexterity limitations and to explore new expressive avenues like AI-generated music.
Tech Faceplants: That One's Gotta Hurt
Q: What's the most life-changing tech that you have bought that changed absolutely nothing?
