Rest your thumbs & lift your eyes — talk to an AI. Learn about physics with Einstein, play a game of “20 Questions” with Sherlock, work toward finding World Peace with Nelson Mandela, debate philosophy with Socrates, and more.
Hey PHers!
We are so excited to launch the IYO AI iOS App to the world!
🤔 What and why IYO AI?
Our launch is foundational - focused on the magic of audio-first voice interaction with agents who all have their own unique personalties. We have exciting updates coming very soon as we launch our parallel company products. This is just the beginning.
Today - you can dig into the app, get a full explanation from an agent and also be guided to select more from our library of 200+ agents aimed at empowering you with the magic of talking to AI.
But this is not just AI characters - to me, what makes us special is your ability to talk to AI in a way that drives value for you in your digital AND physical life. We have experts, trainers, and more.
💡How to use IYO AI

@wong_levene Thanks, Levene! There is absolutely a large community growing around AI and it's only getting larger every day. It's not yet fully obvious, but the IYO AI App is actually also community driven!
The 200+ agents you can choose from in the app were created by a group of individuals within another IYO product - the IYO Developer Studio. That program is currently Beta & invite-only, but developers use the product to create and curate their own LLM-based agents. For example, Jarvis and Buffy were community-created agents!
So excited to see this launch! A ton of hard work and much more to come in the future. We're also thrilled to have such great involvement from the community so far in terms of providing feedback. Keep it coming and we can't wait to share what's next!
I'm getting some good laughs out of this app! I plopped the Game of 20 Questions agent in front of some kids at a get together and it was fun watching them argue with one another over what question to ask next.
My wife and I had fun using the D&D Dungeon Master to pass time on a long road trip. While obviously much simpler than the real thing, it captures the essence of D&D and is perfect for using in a car. It has a setup phase at the beginning to name who is playing in the party and what they want as their class/character. You can have each person give their own verbal responses when asked which route/action to take during their turn, which results in some hilarious chaos in where it ends up taking you. I see a lot of potential here!
@blinthicum I second the Dungeon Master! There was a car crash on my way home once and it took me 2 hrs 30 mins - I had a few epic D&D games that made it bearable

I've recently had the pleasure of exploring the new IYO voice AI mobile app. The ability to interact with a multitude of voice agents and even craft my own personalized agent has introduced a level of customization I never knew I needed. Conversing with these agents feels seamless and surprisingly human-like, making every interaction enjoyable.
What stands out to me is how these agents connect to a backend LLM to provide not just accurate, but also contextually rich answers to a wide array of questions. It's fascinating to see such advanced technology being utilized to enhance our daily digital conversations.
The user interface is intuitive, making navigation a breeze, which significantly enhances the overall user experience. It's apparent a lot of thought has gone into making this app not just functional but also user-friendly.
I'm genuinely impressed with this app and am excited to see how it evolves. It's not often you come across an app that not only meets but exceeds expectations. This pushes the boundaries of what voice AI can achieve. I'm looking forward to seeing how it will continue to transform our digital interactions.
@aaliya_shah Thank you, Aaliya! We are really excited to see all our hard work come to fruition with launch!

I have really loved using the IYO AI iOS App! Its fun to pull up the different agents based on the situation I’m in and even better to not have to worry about putting my face in a screen to find an answer to a question that I’m curious about - I definitely prefer the ability to talk vs type.
It’s also useful in longer car trips. I am able to pull up an agent that has deep knowledge in an area (for example, mixing music) and have a full conversation about the topic - asking all the curious questions I have had in my mind for some time as I learn the new skill.
Excited to see what features / functionality come next from this team! Great initial launch!
@pedro_c Thank you for the callouts, Pedro!
We also love the app in car trips. My favorite agents on my drives are Suzy GPT (a Product expert - a bit uncanny and funny, haha), DialogueDesign, Software Stacey and Spatial Audio Expert. They help me work through whatever different challenges and opportunities I'm having with our work.

I want to point out the fun I had making Susie GPT (no, NOT Suzy GPT). It definitely made @suzybureau's blood boil when she heard it the first time. The sarcasm is great, the voice model understands to sound obnoxious, and best of all, it's something to giggle about. I know some folk have had some of these rather-strange experiences with product managers, and it's good to bring out @suzybureau's Jungian shadow-self to realize how good product folk can be when they can be this bad.
Had so much fun playing around with the agents who act as therapists. Sometimes you just need someone to vent out to and give you a different perspective on things. The agents in this app were surprisingly adept at providing insightful responses and guiding me through my thoughts and emotions. It felt like having a genuine conversation with a supportive friend. The interface was user-friendly, making it easy to navigate through different topics and prompts. Overall, a great tool for anyone looking for a bit of virtual therapy and a fresh outlook on their challenges. Highly recommend giving it a try!
@aidana_daulbayeva2 I'm glad you were able to find support there - that's our goal! Ms. Reframe has helped me personally reframe a lot of situations I was in to help me see the best.
If you have thoughts or ideas for how we might iterate on these types of agents in particular, we would love to act on them! Message me or feedback@iyo.audio!

Already the product is valuable with Mr. Wikipedia - it gets most information right, and it saves me the time of having to read through a block of text on the internet to get the information that I want. It's like speaking to that smart friend in your social circle that you can seem to the world's information out of.
I know that Hercules is supposed to be an AI fitness coach - but you should probably ask him about his father - he'll go down a hole. I love these
Easter eggs!
Maybe the best experience is putting the phone down, having the screen turn off, and ask the app questions while you're working on a desktop computer. You begin to realize there's more to a computer than a keyboard, and we're missing an interaction surface to get information out of a computer.
@george_c3 Thank you for the call-outs, George! Mr. Wikipedia is one of my favorites, too! It's so nice to get to talk to the AI about the questions vs only being able to read through all the research and text! There's something magical added when it can be a conversation. Love the analogy of it being like speaking to that smart friend in your life!
Also - Hercules! I just tried that! Too funny!
Also love the callout on being able to truly go hand and screen free by turning screen off and going phone down. There's so much value to resting our thumbs and eyes! I personally feel much more present and mindful.
