Overserious

What you built: Tiny Funeral is a web app that holds a real ceremony for the trivial things you should have let go of months ago — an abandoned Duolingo streak, a side project that never shipped, a skincare routine, a situationship. You write what you're laying to rest, pick who delivers the eulogy, and within 15 seconds you hear a full spoken ceremony performed in a voice that means it. How I used the tech: Every ceremony voice is generated via the ElevenLabs Voice Design API from a character description — no stock library voices. Five custom voices, each with a distinct physical profile (an 80-year-old Baptist chaplain, an Italian operatic romantic, a British deadpan cynic, a bereaved American father actively weeping, an Irish publican three pints deep). Each voice also runs on its own tuned TTS parameters so the delivery matches the character, not just the timbre. Eulogies are written per-character by Claude (claude-sonnet-4-5) with SSML pause markers baked in so the TTS honors real dramatic pauses. The full app was scaffolded and deployed on Replit. What makes it special: The joke isn't that you're grieving something trivial. The joke is that the ceremony takes the trivial completely seriously. The gap between the subject ("my Duolingo streak") and the delivery (a weeping 40-year-old struggling to finish a sentence) is where the product lives. People come for the joke and stay because they actually needed to let something go.

Storefront — Paste a URL, get a voice AI receptionist in 60 seconds. AI scrapes the business website, extracts structured data (services, prices, hours, FAQ), and deploys a voice agent that answers real phone calls. When it can't answer, it captures the lead and texts the caller a confirmation. Cloudflare: Each business gets its own Durable Object — a persistent virtual computer with SQLite, WebSocket sync, and self-rescheduling alarms. Uses Workers, Agents SDK, Browser Rendering, Workers AI, R2, and Assets. ElevenLabs: Conversational AI powers the voice agent with dynamic system prompts per business. TTS, STT, Voice Library with live preview, and real Phone Numbers — not a browser widget. Also: Twilio SMS confirmations, Claude Sonnet for extraction, Google Places enrichment. Every Agents SDK primitive is used intentionally: getAgentByName() for slug-based addressing, sql<T> for typed queries, schedule() for self-healing weekly re-scrapes, setState() for real-time dashboard sync, onRequest() as a full HTTP router inside the DO.
