SKI is a on-device voice coding application, which can be used with any agents that supports skill, such as Claude Code, Codex or Hermes.It transcribes your voice (which you can optionally review and edit) and send it to the connected agent. The agent then completes the task, and uses the skill to talk about the updates of the project or a summary or a query using voice.This runs completely on-device. Free. No subscription. Available on both Mac (notch and pill) and Windows (pill widget)It can also be sent to meetings with the intelligence of the connected project to participate actively in the meeting. This is a paid feature (as it runs on the cloud), powered by agentcall and is optional.All on device functions are free with no limits on usage.
