Since October, TAMSIV's voice AI understood commands perfectly. "Create a task", "add a memo", "check my schedule" — all worked. But the AI didn't know the user.
Say "remind me about the thing for the kids" and it had no idea you had kids.
Two days before public launch, I shipped voice-based AI personalization.
Configure Your AI by Talking to It
A new screen: "Configure my AI". You tap, you talk:
"I'm a parent of 3, I manage a cleaning crew of 4, and I forget everything after 30 seconds."
The AI listens, summarizes your context, stores it. From that point on, every response is tailored. "The little one" means your son. "Tuesday's site" means your field intervention.
The implementation: the custom context is sent as part of the system prompt to OpenRouter. The LLM sees it on every conversation turn. Simple, but the UX around it — the onboarding flow, the voice recording, the save/edit/delete — that's where the 1,800 lines went.
6 TTS Voices with Live Preview
Voice is personal. The same robotic voice 50 times a day gets old.
I added a voice selector: 6 OpenAI TTS voices, each with a live preview button. Tap → hear "Hello, I'm your TAMSIV assistant" in that voice → choose. Saved to the user profile, used for all responses.
The tricky part: the preview uses the same WebSocket pipeline as the main dictaphone. Which led to...
The 3-Hour WebSocket Bug
The AI setup screen and the dictaphone share one WebSocket connection. When you preview a voice in setup, the dictaphone's callbacks also fired — processing audio meant for the setup screen.
Fix: an "active owner" pattern. When setup opens, it claims exclusive WebSocket ownership. The dictaphone's callbacks become no-ops until setup closes. Clean in theory, 3 hours of debugging because the conflict only appeared on specific Android models with aggressive garbage collection.
Personalization as a Feature Gate
AI personalization is now part of the Pro/Team plans in the pricing. Free users get basic context, paid users get full customization + voice selection. Added to the pricing page on the website too.
730+ Commits, Monday Is Launch Day
This was the last feature. The app now knows who it's talking to.
Monday, TAMSIV goes public on the Play Store. 6 months of solo development, and the AI finally has context.
