What it does

Most to-do list apps are just another screen competing for your attention. Task Agent takes a different approach — a small AI orb that lives quietly on your desktop and only speaks when you ask it to. Say a custom wake phrase, ask what you've missed or what's due today, and it replies out loud — reasoning over your real task list using a local LLM. Speech recognition, task logic, and AI reasoning all run on your machine. No cloud, no API keys, nothing leaves your device.

    Hi HN I recently got married, promptly had a bit of a meltdown, and decided to lock myself in a room and build for a while. At the same time, I was trying to outbound sell for my startup and kept running into the same problem: I wanted an automation tool that could actually use my computer like a person. Click through UIs, copy/paste between apps, handle messy workflows — not just APIs and webhooks. I couldn’t find anything that felt: - consumer-friendly (non-technical) - local-first - flexible enough for real-world, UI-driven tasks So I challenged myself to see how far I could get…

    Voice-first todo list that updates live as you talkDec 2025 · taskmaster.keithschacht.com · ▲5

    I built a demo of a voice AI task manager. You speak naturally and it updates your visible task list in real time. Try it here, no sign up: https://taskmaster.keithschacht.com I find it useful to talk aloud to figure out priorities. With this, I can just ramble, “Mark that first task as done. Actually undo that. Add a task to proofread it. Move that to the top…” It’s built on LiveKit with a Rails web UI. It listens continuously, maps speech to tool calls, and keeps full task-list state so it understands vague references like “the third item” or “the one with my kids.” Voice feels…

    I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

    Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

  • A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

    Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
