Paul Asjes

I'm giving a talk today at Compass AI in Budapest! I'll be going deep on voice agents, how they work under the hood and how you can optimize them best for your use cases. If you're attending, come say hi! compassaitechsummit.com/talks/bringi...

I now have an AI robot that cleans my pool. What a time to be alive.

Going to have to retrain my brain to talk about John Apple instead of Tim Apple going forward

The ElevenLabs CLI v1 is now on npm: npm install -g @elevenlabs/cli

"The most productive next step is probably to ask Paul Asjes directly" Thanks Claude I'll just go ask him then shall I?

Last night was my turn to have the "I'm in school and I forgot about an assignment that's due today" dream

You're not a real developer until you've been bitten by CORS

I don't know what the next AI dev hype will be, but for right now skills are hitting the sweet spot for me in terms of getting LLMs to do what I want without wildly hallucinating.

The Amazing Sniper-Man

Yearly reminder that HP printers are the biggest pieces of shit in the technology world.

I now live in Valencia 🇪🇸 do I know anyone here?

I'm hiring for a DevRel engineer to join my team! If you enjoy being at the forefront of AI audio and making robots say silly things then apply forthwith: elevenlabs.io/careers/40e0...

The @flutterdevofficial.bsky.social dev toolchain is actually pretty dope. Updating, doctor, publishing and testing all from the same CLI. Also just works with VSCode/Cursor and doesn't make me download a flutter specific IDE that I'd never use.

It's incredible how archaic IDEs without AI now feel. Doing a project in iOS and I've actually switched to using cursor for actual code writing and only using xcode to build and test.

our april fools joke this year was a "Text to Bark" service which would translate human text into dog language and the amount of emails we get asking for API access is truly mind boggling

Artisanal, hand-crafted SDK, delivered right to your unicorn app idea.

How does this even happen

Anyone else finding GPT5 to be really slow for coding? I've gone back to Claude because I'm tired of it taking 10+ seconds to read a file.

Hope you build something amazing with this. Any feedback or issues, hit us up here: github.com/elevenlabs/p...

What do SDKs look like in this brave new world of AI and MCPs? I think it's time to move on from them. dev.to/paulasjes/se...

I hate Python environments so much. I know that Node is also insane but it's an insanity I can get behind and understand

Incredible time at the Google Developers summit in 🇵🇱! Great crowd and wonderful venue. Thanks to all who came and asked great questions about multilingual Conversational AI!

Me too buddy, me too.

The not so glamorous part of releasing a new major version of SDKs is all the example code you have to update

I'm a senior level engineer, and I just committed a secret API key to a public repo. If you ever feel impostor syndrome I promise you there are bigger idiots out there.

Always fun when something you wrote a few years ago makes the rounds on Slack and your colleagues put 2 and 2 together.

The pushing of fighter jets off aircraft carriers will continue until morale improves.

It's spring time in Amsterdam, which means the sun is out, the flowers are blooming and my car got keyed. Again.

Nighttime Dubrovnik

New Deafheaven album? Please and thank you.

My affections for bonsai trees and profanity, finally married into a perfect product. Comfy too.

The worst part of working with npm packages is trying to load a local version to test your package without having to publish. What works in one environment just breaks in another.

#FreeJavaScript update - we'll be posting this to TTAB tomorrow Roughly translated: Just because you submitted two pieces of evidence and one of them was not fraudulent, does not mean you did not commit fraud.

I love small easter eggs in APIs, like did you know that api.elevenlabs.io/v1/voices doesn't require authentication?

We released Scribe today, an extremely high performing Speech to Text model. People are going to build some seriously fun stuff with this and I'm here for it. elevenlabs.io/blog/meet-sc...

"Websocks" is the singulative of "websockets". Thank you and I will not be taking questions at this time.

Today's dark pattern award goes to HSBC, who after unsubscribing from their emails because I don't read them, sends me an email asking if I could please re-subscribe because they want to send me more emails I won't read.

Son has been gloating a lot to little brother, like "haha I have more than you". Told him the next time he does it I'll take what he has and give it to his brother. Last night: "haha I have more broccoli than you" *proceeds to put his broccoli on brother's plate* now listen here you little shit

Currently implementing some best practices for our API and this article is coming in handy: github.com/stickfigure/...

You may not like it, but this is what peak PR overview looks like

What's more fun than talking about @deepseeks.bsky.social? Exactly, talking to #DeepSeek 📣🐳 Presenting 👉 go.thor.bio/deep-speak A conversational AI agent built with @elevenlabsio.bsky.social and @cloudflare.social Workers AI ☁️

Started listening to a new AI podcast and after the intro the host declares he's handing it over to an @elevenlabsio.bsky.social version of themselves

In all the excitement I forgot to post that I've started a new gig at @elevenlabsio.bsky.social with my bud @thorweb.dev ! Expect a lot of DX magic and me making Thor say funny things with his voice clone.

Some personal news, today is my last day at @workos.bsky.social. I’m truly grateful to @grinich.bsky.social and the team for making my time there so positive and fulfilling. The people and product are fantastic and I'm going to miss both. I start a new gig on Monday, which I’ll talk more about soon!

Another day, another sharp edge with Next.js that was insanely hard to debug. This time it's headers and server actions.

v1.0.0 of authkit-nextjs is now live! Super happy to see this graduate to a stable version: github.com/workos/authk...

WinterCG becoming WinterTC is such a win for the web. I've now done the work to make a Node SDK work across all JS runtimes for two separate companies and so painful for no good reason. Well done @lcas.dev and team! deno.com/blog/wintertc

Took the dog to the groomers to get all clean and fancy, next day the little shit jumps in a muddy pond.
