Shop Talk: Building an AI-Powered Voice-Controlled Shopping List App with Daily Bots and Convex
I've found the best way to avoid analysis paralysis is to just dive in, start tinkering with a new tool and build something with it.
With that in mind, I'd like to show you a little demo I put together that combines a cool new AI tool called Daily Bots with Convex. It's a collaborative shopping list / todos application that you can control entirely with your voice.
If you want to try this out yourself the demo is available here: https://convex-shop-talk.vercel.app/ and the source is available here: https://github.com/get-convex/shop-talk
The Shop Talk app uses a Daily Bots client to enable voice controls through various services. This client triggers function handlers in our client-side app, which execute tasks on behalf of the LLM. These function handlers then communicate with Convex, which manages our state and ensures synchronization across all Shop Talk instances.
There's a seemingly endless array of libraries and services that provide this functionality. Since it's honestly quite overwhelming, I went with one that a friend had success with: Daily Bots
