ai-samantha

[private]

voice-first electron companion for the ai-* ecosystem

what it does

ai-samantha is a voice-first companion app. Talk to it, ask what’s happening across the ai-* tools, and let it sit in your menu bar ready to answer out loud. All speech stays on your machine — no cloud STT or TTS.

why

Sometimes you want to ask a question without switching windows. Samantha is the always-on voice surface for the rest of the ecosystem.
