What is the use [of me speaking] ?

1. What is the use of me speaking ?

I came to think of the structure of the example.

I thought "me speaking" is a gerund phrase here.

If so, I was wondering if "of me speaking" qualifies "what."

Thank you in advance for your help.

No, not at all. It goes with 'use', not with 'what'.
