Record video notes – You can also record video notes. To iraq database telegram record a video note, select "video" under the record button. When you hold down the record button, your front-facing camera will turn on and capture the video of you speaking (there's no way to switch to your back camera). Release the record button and your video note will post to your feed with an AI text transcription. Like audio notes, you cannot edit video notes. Your video will play next to your voice note in the small circle where your profile picture usually appears. The tiny video size reinforces that video is not the main focus of the app.
Continuous feed playing – Airchat will play through your entire feed, cycling through the audio of every voice note that has populated in your feed, within a channel, or in a thread that you have open.
Text transcription – Airchat uses AI to automatically transcribe your voice notes. The AI works fast, and we didn't notice any mistakes in transcription (though we didn't test very complicated recordings.)
Upload images – Once you record a voice or video note, you can upload an image to accompany it. You will need to give Airchat permission to access your photo library, then you can attach up to one picture. The picture will appear under your text transcript, but there's no way to click on the picture in order to open or enlarge it.
Like, repost, and bookmark voice notes – You can heart a post and/or repost it to your feed. You can also press and hold a voice note to bookmark it. Reposts will show up on your personal feed, and bookmarks will show up on your personal page under the "bookmarks" tab.
Replies and threads – You can reply to any voice note by clicking on it and then recording a response. This will create a thread similar to those on X (Twitter) or Threads, and your voice reply+text transcription will post into the thread with the original voice note.
Direct messaging – You can start a private voice note conversation with anyone that follows you.
Channels – You can join channels related to hobbies, interests, fandoms, sports, etc. There’s only a handful right now, and it’s unclear how to create your own channel.
How channels work on Airchat
Search – You can use Airchat’s search feature to search for users, channels, and content within voice notes.
Text translation – Airchat is also testing Babelchat, a translation tool that can translate voice recordings into another language. It's not accessible on the current version of Airchat, but Ravikant demoed the tool in 2023. In this video you can see Japanese, Korean, German, French, and other speakers' languages being translated into English text in real time. We don't know enough about it right now, but this could be a very powerful selling point for Airchat in the future.
