Dave O’Toole is a locksmith from Dublin. His shop is on the Dublin’s Amiens St. And he came up with the idea of a touch lock after his mother had problem with opening doors after a stroke.

He developed an electronic tag that transforms radio frequency signals on touch. And this tag is portable, you can carry it in a purse or in pocket. There won’t be any struggle with keys while using touch lock.

Dave pitched his idea in the Silicon Valley last month. And he now has many platforms interested in him. Indiegogo, telecommunications giant AT&T, and Fortune 500 company Arrow Electronics, all seem interested in Dave’s Touch2Access. And many more companies like Locksmith Philadelphia are also planning on entering this touch access arena of smart locks.

Dave is now preparing to raise a crowd funding campaign. He won in a San Francisco based Hardware start-up bootcamp. About 120 participants took part in this bootcamp from US, as well as Asia. After his success here, he received certification from Arrow and the multinational expressed its interest in a global licensing deal.

Touch2Access is the best way to unlock a home for elderly people. It does not need a digital card or a code. Dave says –“The key tag stays in the pocket or the purse, and when you touch the door, it then sends a signal from the key tag over the body to the motorised lock, which opens automatically. So once you touch the door, the lock opens, you just have to push it.”

The lock specially aims at the elderly and those with disability. It is also an option for younger generation who prefer a tech option. He worked on his idea and developed it with the help of Cork Institute of Technology and funding from Enterprise Ireland’s Innovation Partnership.

This lock is the new generation lock, and it has limitless potential. It is for anyone who wants a hassle free and secure option to lock their home. And soon this new lock can replace 90% of the existing locks which use either standard European lock or American deadbolt. Dave acquired the patent for his technology. And he will turn his prototype into a product this summer.

My Main AI Turns Complex Workflows into Simple, Voice-Driven Conversations

Managing modern workflows often means juggling dashboards, documents, and long email threads before a single task is complete. My Main AI Inc, an AI technology platform that spans text, image, voice, and video, has built a system where many of those steps can be handled through spoken or written prompts instead of manual clicks.

Turning Tasks Into Conversations

My Main AI groups several automation tools around a voice and chat layer so users can move through work by giving instructions rather than configuring each step. The platform lists AI Web Chat, AI Realtime Voice Chat, AI Speech‑to‑Text Pro, and AI Text‑to‑Speech engines from providers such as Lemonfox, Speechify, and IBM Watson, creating a loop between spoken input and generated output.

Speech‑to‑text tools support accurate transcription of audio content in multiple languages, with options to translate those recordings into English. That capability gives businesses a way to record meetings, calls, or field conversations, then convert the results into text that can be summarized, edited, and turned into documents or scripts. Text‑to‑speech tools, including multi‑voice synthesis with up to 20 voices and SSML controls, take written content in the other direction, producing voiceovers for training, marketing, and support material.

Chat assistants extend the same pattern to files and websites. My Main AI lists AI Chat PDF, AI Chat CSV, and AI Web Chat, which allow users to ask questions of documents or site content through natural language prompts. Instead of sorting through long reports, a user can query a file, receive concise answers, and then send follow‑up requests to generate emails, briefs, or summaries in the same environment.

From Content Pipelines to Voice‑Led Workflows

The company reports that its platform connects to more than 100 models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, xAI, Amazon Bedrock and Nova, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Flux, Nano Banana, Google Veo, and Stable Diffusion 3.5 Flash. Public materials state that these models support text, image, voice, and video generation in more than 53 languages, giving the voice‑driven tools reach across several regions and markets.

Content creation sits at the center of many of these workflows. My Main AI offers modules for blog posts, email campaigns, ad copy, social captions, video scripts, and structured frameworks such as AIDA, PAS, BAB, and PPPP. A user can dictate key points or paste a brief into the chat, receive draft text, ask the assistant to adjust tone or length, and then pass the result into voice synthesis to create a narrated version.

Visual tools fit into the same flow. DALL·E 3 HD, Stable Image Ultra, and an AI Photo Studio support image creation, product mock‑ups, background changes, and multiple variations from a single upload. AI Image to Video and text‑to‑video connections with engines such as Sora and Google Veo, alongside an AI Avatar feature labeled “coming soon,” make it possible to turn a spoken or typed brief into images, then into short clips that accompany the newly generated audio.

Why Businesses See Conversation as Infrastructure

Company data shared with partners cites more than 77,000 customers worldwide, annual revenue near 3 million dollars, and monthly revenue growth around 250,000 dollars, driven largely by subscription sales. The 49‑dollar plan is described as the best‑selling tier, with My Main AI presenting it as the entry point to the broader suite of conversational and automation tools.

Business‑oriented features show how these voice‑driven workflows connect to operations. The platform lists payment gateways such as AWDpay and Coinremitter, integrations with Stripe, Xero, HubSpot, and Mailchimp, and tools for SEO, finance analytics, dynamic pricing, wallet systems, and referrals. A manager can ask a chat assistant to pull figures, draft a report, and prepare customer messages, then move directly into sending campaigns or reviewing payments through linked services.

Company communications describe ongoing work on proprietary models, expanded training flows from text, PDFs, and URLs, and deeper tools for chat, analytics, and video. That roadmap suggests that My Main AI views conversation—spoken or typed—as a central control surface for complex workflows, with automation stepping in behind the scenes so users can focus on clear instructions rather than manual configuration.
