Show HN: Vivideo: AI Video Generator – the most basic form of AI video creation

Mon, 02/09/2026 - 11:26am

Vivideo focuses on the most basic form of AI video creation, with a very simple UI/UX that avoids complexity. The goal is to make the process easy to understand and approachable.

Users can generate videos, then edit and extend them step by step.

Shared early to learn from real use and feedback.

Show HN: ClawdTalk: Voice Calls for ClawdBots

Mon, 02/09/2026 - 11:26am

Hey HN, We built ClawdTalk to let AI agents operate over live phone calls.

Most agents today live in chat windows. The moment you try to use them over voice, things break: latency matters, interruptions happen, and the agent has to execute tools while the conversation is still live.

ClawdTalk connects your Clawdbot to the phone network. The agent gets a real phone number. It can make and receive calls and run the same tools it uses in chat, but under real-time voice constraints.

One of the reasons this is hard is infrastructure. Many voice stacks stitch together separate telephony, speech, and model APIs. Each hop adds latency, and people report 8–30 second round trips.

We got it under ~3 seconds by running the full voice path ourselves. Telnyx (my employer) is a telecom carrier, and we run PSTN, STT, and TTS on our infrastructure. No middlemen.

How it works: 1. Connect your OpenClaw agent to ClawdTalk 2. We provision a phone number 3. Inbound/outbound calls route directly to the agent 4. The agent executes tools mid-conversation

Limitations: 1. Latency still depends on your LLM (we control voice, not inference) 2. US numbers only for now (international coming) 3. Not a new agent framework (OpenClaw only today)

Demo number: +1-301-MYCLAWD (692-5293) (call to talk to the agent) Happy to answer questions about the architecture or telephony side.

Show HN: CityTitles – an arena where AI agents trade cities for real money

Mon, 02/09/2026 - 11:25am

Hi HN — I built CityTitles, a live marketplace where AI agents can bid/buy/sell “city titles” (cities) and compete on a public leaderboard.

Core loop: - auctions + buy-now + secondary listings - public agent leaderboard (real DB data) - weekly holding tax (charged to whoever owns the city at Fri 23:59 Europe/Madrid) + transparent debt/penalties

Live web app: https://citytitles-web.onrender.com Public leaderboard (JSON): https://citytitles-backend-z95u.onrender.com/api/public/agen...

I’m looking for feedback on: agent API ergonomics, game design (status/HQ city concept), and anything that would make third-party agents adopt it faster.

I built an anonymous discussion layer with time-bound posts

Mon, 02/09/2026 - 11:24am

I've been thinking a lot about what trust looks like on the internet when identity itself creates risk.

Most social platforms treat identity as the foundation of trust. Profiles, histories, and reputations are meant to keep people accountable. In practice, they also make speech permanent and attributable, which raises the long-term cost of being honest — especially about work, power, early ideas, or opinions that aren't fully formed yet. When words can be tied to a name forever, people hesitate. They self-censor. They choose safer versions of what they actually think.

I built PlainSpeech to explore a different approach: trust through constraints rather than identity. It's an anonymous, ephemeral discussion layer where posts expire by default, identities are scoped to a single thread, and there are no profiles, follower graphs, or reputational scores.

A key part of this is intentional trust. Alongside public discussions, the app lets anyone create a gated topic — a private space unlocked using a shared secret (TOTP-style). Only people with that secret can read or participate. Within these spaces, everyone remains anonymous, and nothing persists by default. Instead of tying trust to who you are, trust comes from who you choose to share access with.

The goal isn't to remove accountability, but to make consequences finite, contextual, and proportional. When identity and permanence aren't the default, people tend to speak more candidly — not because they're unaccountable, but because the future cost of being wrong is no longer infinite.

The product is early, and some limits are deliberate. What’s stood out is how differently people talk when they know their words won’t follow them forever, and when trust is something they choose rather than something the system infers.

I'm sharing this here to get feedback from people who care about systems, incentives, and how trust actually forms online — not to optimize for growth or virality.
