If you see a spammer or bot, report them and I or my admins will kick them out to keep this community clean. Your help ensures that we keep this community protected and special. Let’s give these spammers and bots the 🥾👋! 🚨HOW TO REPORT: 1. Click the 3 dots next to the profile/post/comment and click report 🚨HOW TO IDENTIFY A BOT/SPAMMER 1. Weird or strange comments 2. Ask for WhatsApp number or dm 3. Simply says “hello how are you doing” 4. Promotes something strange or too good to be true Last night @Theresa Elliott , @Mindy Molein and a few more of you helped report a few spam comments here inside the community. This morning a bot joined and then changed their identity to impersonate me. I immediately banned the users and removed all of their previous posts. THIS HELPS A LOT. So please do what they did, help me protect this place! 🫶🏾

It's not just answering questions — it's showing you. "Hey, show me the best coffee shops near the Eiffel Tower" And it just... does it. Pans the map. Zooms in. Highlights spots. Talks back to you about what it found. This isn't search. This is conversation. --- What is this thing? Voice AI Conversation with Google Maps — a voice-powered AI agent that actually controls Google Maps while you talk to it. Ask it anything: - "What's the fastest route avoiding highways?" - "Find me beachfront hotels under $200 in Portugal" - "Show me where all the national parks are in Utah" - "Zoom out and show me the whole country" It doesn't just answer. It shows you. In real-time. While talking back. --- Why this hits different We've all typed into Google Maps. But talking to a map that responds, moves, and explores WITH you? That's a completely different experience. It's like having a knowledgeable local guide who also happens to control a giant interactive map on your wall. The Open Source Repo: https://github.com/moshehbenavraham/chat_with_google_maps --- The nerdy part (for my fellow builders) 🔧 Started with Google's AI Studio demo — cool proof of concept, but basically a toy. Nearly FULLY AUTOMATICALLY built: - Full authentication system - Secure backend (no exposed API keys 🔐) - Database for saving your stuff - AI monitoring dashboard and logging - Local/Dev/Production deployment on Vercel - 18,500+ lines of code Built the entire thing using the Apex Spec System — an open-source spec-driven Plugin/Skill for Claude Code. Every feature was spec'd out first, then built systematically. Complex project, zero chaos. 🔗 github.com/moshehbenavraham/apex-spec-system --- The future is conversational We're moving from: Click → Type → Talk This is just the beginning 🚀 Voice + AI + Maps is one combination. What about Voice + AI + your industry? The patterns we built here — security, monitoring, auth, database — they're reusable building blocks.

If you've been wanting to add voice AI to your project but can't decide which provider to use... I felt the same way. So I built something using my own 'Apex Spec System' (https://github.com/moshehbenavraham/apex-spec-system). It's called Voice Agent PuPuPlatter. (Yes, like the appetizer sampler at a Chinese restaurant.) One app. Seven voice AI providers. All in one tabbed interface. Here's what's included: → ElevenLabs (Widget + SDK modes) → OpenAI Realtime API → xAI Grok → Ultravox → Vapi → Retell You can switch between them instantly and compare the experience yourself. Each provider has: • Real-time transcripts • Audio visualization • Function calling demos • Automatic reconnection The UI is modern glassmorphism design. Works on mobile. Fully accessible. If interested, I also recorded a video tutorial series showing exactly how to set up your own ElevenLabs agent from scratch (links in the Repo). 5 videos. Step by step. Tech stack if you're curious: React 19 + TypeScript + Vite + Tailwind CSS 429+ tests included. Docker support for easy deployment. It's 100% free and open source.
