Speak to Halo. Voice companion.
AI agent loops · one human on topFor the moments when you need to talk.
Halo is a live test of agentic product development. I set the direction and make the final calls; AI agents run the loops across product, engineering and QA. The product is a native voice companion for iOS and Android, with real-time voice, journaling and 22 languages.

- Leave with a written 30-day implementation plan
01
Product strategy
I review the product, user behaviour and economics, then work with you on the decisions that matter now.
02
Growth
I review acquisition, the first-user path and subscription economics together, because the same product decisions affect all three.
03
Fundraising
I help define what you are raising for, which milestone supports the round and how the investor story holds together under questions.
04
Pitching and deck feedback
I review the deck slide by slide, cut claims that do not survive questions and rehearse the spoken pitch with you.
05
Building with AI agents
I map one real company workflow, decide which parts agents can own and keep strategy, approvals and risk with people.
Nick Lahoika
Still hands-on.
I run Vocal Image, build Halo and work directly with founders. No junior handoff. We work on the product or decision together.
