- Mac users who want hands-free app control
- Worth noticing
- Its example shows Chrome opening YouTube and verifying the page; sessions end when stopped or after 15 quiet seconds.
Field notes
The described workflow waits until the speaker pauses, so a mid-sentence correction can replace an earlier request before the action begins. Example activity includes opening Terminal and starting Claude, searching YouTube, and opening a result; the homepage presents these as demonstrations, not independently verified performance. It says ordinary voice, screen, and command data stay on the Mac, while external-model handling is reserved for a Pro mode marked as coming soon.
