An AI that talks like a friend, jumps in, interrupts and keeps the convo going

A new experimental app called Deep Talk Buddy, built by developer echohive42 and distributed via Patreon, lets users converse with an AI that can interrupt and interject mid-sentence to keep a lively back-and-forth going. The app, which requires Node.js 22+, a signed-in Codex, a microphone, and internet access, processes audio and text through OpenAI and is not an official OpenAI product.

NEW EXPERIMENT · DOWNLOADABLE APP Bring a thought.See where it goes.

Talk with AI like you’d talk with a friend. About your day, a random idea, or something that’s been on your mind.

I built this for a lively back-and-forth: it can ask questions, make connections, and jump in with a thought while you’re still talking—without waiting for another prompt.

  • Set the tone. Adjust excitement for a calmer or more animated exchange.
  • Keep your space. Use “Let me finish” when you want the floor.
  • Keep the thread. Save the conversation to revisit later.
