Show HN: Tikpal- Your AI Voice Partner – Focus, Flow, Forge (tikpal.ai)
The goal is to reduce screen dependency and cognitive fragmentation, and let people work in a more natural “voice-first” flow. Instead of clicking through interfaces and context-switching between apps, you talk to Tikpal, and it helps you think, structure ideas, and execute tasks.
Three layers we are focusing on:
FOCUS — Tools like Pomodoro, breathing cues, ambient audio, and micro-interactions to create sustained high-focus intervals.
FLOW — Voice-based reasoning and ideation built on your personal knowledge base + memory. Designed for analysis, planning, decision-making, and creative thinking.
FORGE — Execution layer: drafting, email, planning, project steps, with direct integration into systems like Gmail, Notion, Todoist.
The mission is not to replace human work. It’s to remove friction—digital distraction, window-switching, and tool overhead—so humans can do deeper, higher-quality thinking.
Would appreciate feedback from this community. Especially around use cases where voice interaction > keyboard interaction, and how you’d think about building reliable AI workflows without over-automation.

[ 3.4 ms ] story [ 23.1 ms ] threadI have two quick questions regarding the subscription and API specs:
Core Subscription: Which specific LLMs are running the default agent? Is it OpenAI-based, Gemini, or something else?
BYO Keys: You mentioned users can "bring their own APIs." Could you clarify which providers are currently supported? (Specifically looking for Gemini vs. OpenAI support).
Thanks and good luck with the campaign!
