SKI

The "it answers back" part is the bit that actually matters. Dictation just moves typing to your mouth, you're still sitting there reading output. Having the agent talk back changes the whole loop.The ambient bit is smart too. Half the reason I don't use voice tools is the ceremony of opening one first.Going to give this a proper run this week. Congrats on shipping.

Really love the concept and I always hated how Claude just took the voice input but not speak back. Now… I’m gonna try it in Claude code.Quick question do we have to run some kind of voice model for this or does it come with pre-packed

Congrats on the launch. Just a quick question, how does the push-to-talk handle noisy environments or mechanical keyboard chatter during active coding?

This is definitely a valuable addition to the coding community. I currently use whisper flow for coding but I am wondering how this differs and maybe how it will be better given that it's tailored toward programmers.

Super cool! How does it compare to using WisprFlow on say Claude Code or OpenRouter

I run Claude Code all day as a solo dev and the thing that actually breaks my flow is drifting to another tab and not noticing when it's done or sitting blocked on an approval. Voice-out closing that loop is the part I actually want — does it speak up when the agent is waiting on me, or only when a task finishes?

Congrats on the launch. Assuming this can work with local models since you said it works with Hermes?

This is great! I tried Mac dictation and built in Claude dictation but neither allows for full "away from screen" experience.

Is it possible to call the agent? So that I could talk to it remotely? I guess it's the "bring it to the meeting" that was mentioned?

the answer-out-loud part is the interesting bit, most voice tools stop at input. if I start talking again while it's mid-response, does it interrupt itself or do I have to wait it out?

Very promising approach - two things which made me uninstall it after a few minutes: a) I need a way to select input and output. I have multiple mics (Jabra wireless headset for meetings, Rode mic for video recordings, some system loops etc) and also multiple outputs. (When it gets late I want that output on my headset to not annoy my family)b) price intransparency. I understand that you need to make money. We all do. But if you tell me "free for lifetime" then I am annoyed if I see $2.50 somewhere in the fineprint of my account status. Be open about your pricing. You are competing against other tools that I pay for and I am happy to pay for a better tool

Yes, I want this! Giving it a try. Heads up: Clicking the download buttons on your site did not work for me (but copying the link manually did)

claude code, and the thing that would keep it open is voice for describing intent but never for reading the diff back. those are different jobs and only one of them wants a mic

Love the idea! Voice-first coding feels much more natural than traditional dictation. Running everything locally is a huge plus for both privacy and performance. Excited to see how SKI evolves—congratulations on the launch! 👏

Does it have built-in intelligence or uses our agent's intelligence such as of Claude Code ?

Does it have built-in Intelligence or use our Agent's Intelligence such as of Claude code , Codex...?

Would it be possible to share meeting transcripts with Claude Code for analysis and technical assistance?

Does it diarize speakers in meeting recording ?

Is the offline meeting recorder compatible with all meeting platforms?

Does it need internet to install..?

Talking is fasting than writing. But reading is faster than hearing (at least for me). How does the answering part work? Is it just a status update ("task finished") or does it say the agent's output out loud? We all know that agents can be very verbose in their answers.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Anand, one of the makers.We build with coding agents every day, and kept catching ourselves typing a three-sentence prompt we could've said out loud in four seconds. Thinking is fast. Typing is not.So we built SKI. You hold the Function key, say what you want, and your agent goes and does it — then answers you out loud, like a real person. It's an ambient thing: it sits in your notch and never interrupts your flow.Three things we care about:• It answers. Voice input for agents already exists — it's one-directional, words in, text out. SKI closes the loop: it speaks the result back.• It comes to meetings. Bring your coding session into a call as a real teammate and build live — or send your agent in your place to speak for you.• It's local. Speech in and voice out both run on your machine. No cloud, works offline.Free for life — Mac and Windows today, Linux next. First launch for us, so hard questions are genuinely welcome. What agent do you use, and what would make you keep this open all day?
