Stage is a Product Hunt-style arena where every product gets a voice — literally. When visitors open a listing, they can have a real-time Shark Tank conversation with the product itself: ask tough questions, hear the founder's pitch spoken aloud, and even talk back using their microphone. #How it works: * ElevenLabs powers both sides of the voice experience: * Text-to-Speech — Each AI-generated founder reply streams through ElevenLabs' API, giving every product a distinct voice that matches its chosen tone (e.g., "Confident · Direct" or "Warm · Approachable"). * Speech-to-Text — When users tap the mic, their audio is recorded via `MediaRecorder`, sent to ElevenLabs Scribe, and transcribed into a question the founder can answer. * Replicate (GPT-5 Nano) generates the founder replies. A detailed system prompt grounds the AI in the product's description, tagline, metrics, and private "Pitch Instructions" from the lister — so it stays in character and highlights what matters most. - v0 was used to design and build the entire full-stack app: database schema on Neon, file uploads on Vercel Blob, authentication, the pitch conversation UI, and this very submit form.
