Built by the Tool Collective team. We are a group of tech savvy gearheads, who frequently game and spend more time in discord calls than the average person, so we know a thing or two about good microphones or headset set ups. Even more so, we know the frequency of audio problems people have. So, we built a tool that fixes that. Enjoy!

Made with The Tool Collectives signature model. We layout all factors required to make the best possible decision for this particular question and construct the inputs and choices accordingly. We then build a custom system prompt that incorporates logic if needed and clear output criteria. We then use an AI engine to power the tool, resulting in expert human crafted responses, designed by real enthusiasts.
