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.", "body_md": "NEW EXPERIMENT · DOWNLOADABLE APP\n\n# Deep Talk Buddy\n\nBring a thought.*See where it goes.*\n\nTalk with AI like you’d talk with a friend. About your day, a random idea, or something that’s been on your mind.\n\nI 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.\n\n- **Set the tone.** Adjust excitement for a calmer or more animated exchange.\n- **Keep your space.** Use “Let me finish” when you want the floor.\n- **Keep the thread.** Save the conversation to revisit later.\n\n[Download on Patreon (opens in a new tab)](https://www.patreon.com/echohive42/posts/deep-talk-buddy-168922051?utm_source=echohive_site&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=deep_talk_buddy&utm_content=experiment_feature)\n\nApp download and setup guide on Patreon.
