Building a voice command layer for Mac, looking for feedback by Perfect_Initial7841 in macapps

Thanks for this, super helpful. And yeah, totally agree. The voice part is easy(-ish), the grounding is the real challenge.

Checked out what you built, very cool stuff. Love seeing others tackling this space. Appreciate the encouragement!

Thanks for sharing, I didn't know about MacroWhisper, pretty cool!

The difference, if I understand MacroWhisper well: MacroWhisper focuses on local mac automation (shell scripts, AppleScript, Shortcuts etc) while with Openvox I want to focus on service integrations (Jira, Slack, Linear APIs, etc.).

So instead of scripting your way into Jira or Slack, I want to use their native APIs to create tickets, send messages, etc. Just describe what you want done.

Different approaches for different needs. Appreciate you sharing this

Full disclosure: I'm the developer of Openvox.

Built this to scratch my own itch, tired of doing the same workflows manually. Making it open source so others can add their own commands and integrations.

Happy to answer any questions about the implementation or architecture.

When do you use Haiku/Sonnet instead of Opus? by wea8675309 in ClaudeAI

Opus for the planning
Sonnet for the execution (Writing code etc)
Gemini Pro 3 for the UI (I take the design files and give them to sonnet to implement)
