Made a movie trailer for my side project lol
voice-instinct: Instinct, but you just talk to it. Runs your errands in a browser on your laptop :)
Foundation works, Telegram + more integrations next, still testing each step
Open source, come build it:
github.com/deepakkrsoni/voic…
:)
This is what voice-instinct actually looks like lol
Asked Nova about tomorrow's reminders, cut it off mid-answer, said bye :)
- STT: Parakeet (local)
- TTS: Kokoro (local)
- LLM: Gemini Flash, errands via Claude Code
Next demo: local LLM like Gemma 12B

48 hours after the trailer, voice-instinct got a lot better lol
- only wakes for my voice now
- remembers you, files your day into markdown every night
- "remind me to pay rent" actually works
Linux only rn, help bring it to macOS + Windows :)

Bro if it’s true then this is really crazy man, I have been using jev a lot. I’ll definitely try this out and let you know a detailed review
WAIT.
An open-source decision model with 322M parameters that beats Jev on some benchmarks...
Runs locally on a PHONE...
And now has a FREE API?!

I’m building the voice version of instinct.com

This is so sick ngl
ElevenLabs founders must be SHAKING right now...
these guys just dropped a voice AI you can direct like a real actor
no more typing weird little codes into your script... you just write "say it like you've given up on life" and it does exactly that
here's why that's a big deal:
- one word comes out wrong and you change only that word, the rest of the take stays the same
- it switches voices in the middle of a sentence
- it voices a whole scene with several characters from one script
- it clones your voice and keeps it in character in other languages
and to prove it, they cloned Uncle Roger's voice and had it roast his own fried rice the whole way through lmao

also guys if you would like to contribute to voice instinct in order to make it compatible with windows and macos, that would be pretty great so that it works for windows and macos too. as i have arch linux, i made it for arch for now

Btw the voice part runs fully local on my AI Max 392: Parakeet for speech-to-text, Kokoro for the voice :)
The brain is your pick: Gemini, any OpenAI-compatible API, or a local model via Ollama. Errands run through your own Claude Code

Running Qwen 3.8 27B fully on my laptop's iGPU :)
21 tok/s generation
32k context
Ollama + Vulkan on Arch
Not fast, but a 27B model with no dedicated GPU is kinda wild ngl

"This is where it all starts to go wrong." 😅
Mind expanded by Architecture Patterns with Python. I always defaults to designing the DB schema first, but designing for behaviour first makes so much more sense.
