VoiceInk and Workflows, a local mini-Siri [video]

Hacker News

The great VoiceInk app is open-source, so I hacked (using Claude) a small MVP for a "Workflow" feature, you can see the code here: https://github.com/Beingpax/VoiceInk/pull/19 This is a bit a "create your own Siri" open-source app that everybody can use! Check it here in video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGYOzsknk-k VoiceInk uses Whisper (on-device) and ChatGPT (if requested) to analyze your speech, and my extension allows people to register actions for each command So for instance you can say "Send an email to Fred about the meeting tomorrow, I will be 10 min late" and BOOM, it opens your Mail with the fields pre-filled Or any kind of action on your laptop (really: anything you can write as a shell script) See the image https://imgur.com/a/jHtY3UF and video https://imgur.com/a/jmD74dH For now it's not yet merged in VoiceInk, and it would probably need the main author of VoiceInk to work a bit on the feature, but it totally works and it's really cool! It's quite straightfoward to build it yourself if you want to try in the meantime, check rough instructions here: https://github.com/Beingpax/VoiceInk/issues/17#issuecomment-...
