Description
OpenCharm is an open-source body for the AI agent you already run, right by your Mac's notch. Hold one key to talk and Claude Code, Codex or any agent gets to work, answers out loud and asks when it needs you. Next, it hangs from your keychain.

Could you build this?
Partial The Mac menu bar/notch desktop app with push-to-talk voice integration to local agent CLIs is vibe-codeable, but expanding to custom keychain hardware is not.
What it would actually take: The desktop portion can be built in Swift or Electron with local Whisper STT and speech synthesis streaming to Claude/Codex CLI processes. The physical keychain hardware requires custom PCB design, ultra-low-power microcontrollers (e.g., nRF52/ESP32), BLE audio profiles, microphone acoustic tuning, and physical enclosure manufacturing.
