Description

I built a demo of a voice AI task manager. You speak naturally and it updates your visible task list in real time.Try it here, no sign up: https://taskmaster.keithschacht.comI find it useful to talk aloud to figure out priorities. With this, I can just ramble, “Mark that first task as done. Actually undo that. Add a task to proofread it. Move that to the top…”It’s built on LiveKit with a Rails web UI. It listens continuously, maps speech to tool calls, and keeps full task-list state so it understands vague references like “the third item” or “the one with my kids.”Voice feels much faster for input, but visual feedback is still higher bandwidth for output. This is intentionally rough—a demo focused on interaction, not features.Curious how the interaction model feels for people?Code: https://github.com/keithschacht/taskmaster
