About SpeakoFlow
SpeakoFlow is a free, open-source voice dictation and AI assistant designed to bring seamless voice control across your entire desktop. Built by Abhishek Barali, it allows you to speak and have your words land directly in any application—whether that's an email client, code editor, chat app, or terminal.
With powerful contextual capabilities, you can simply say "Hey Flow" to have the assistant write a complete reply based on what is currently displayed on your screen, or ask questions about what you are looking at and hear the answers spoken back. SpeakoFlow also cleans up your dictation, translates speech as you speak, and adapts to your workflow.
Crucially, SpeakoFlow offers strong privacy options with offline functionality, ensuring that speech-to-text processing always runs locally on your machine. Released under the permissive MIT license, it is fully open-source and compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux.

About AI Eyes
AI Eyes is a permission-first co-presence prototype designed for AI companions. Created by developer Deen Storkey, this open-source tool establishes a privacy-focused, local-first foundation for managing what your digital companions can see and hear.
With its initial v0.1 release, AI Eyes allows users to choose a specific screen or window to capture and gives granular, separate controls for screen, system audio, and microphone inputs. The interface makes it easy to invite named companions and ensures transparency by always displaying when sensing is active. Users can pause or end sessions at any time; ending a session immediately stops all media tracks and resets the session completely.
Built using Codex and GPT-5.6, this prototype is focused entirely on local-first permission, presence, and session-control. Please note that in this foundational stage, no external AI provider or semantic understanding has been connected yet.
Pros of AI Eyes
- Privacy-focused, local-first permission architecture
- Separate, granular control over screen, system audio, and microphone capture
- Clear visual indicators showing when active sensing is occurring
- Open-source code base allowing developers to review and build upon the prototype
Cons of AI Eyes
- It is a prototype (v0.1) and does not yet have an active AI provider or semantic understanding connected
- Limited to foundational capture and session-control features at this stage
