screenshots if u don't wanna watch the vid 👇 personal suggestion: if u want local go with parakeet. I use groq cloud model with an api key, completely free and INSTANT even for very long recordings. get it here → and your productivity will skyrocket

I did this a little on my own asking Chatty-G what python crap I needed to install... definitely spent more than $19 of my own time. I recommend trying this yourself, learning a bunch, and then realizing the value offered here and immediately throwing a Hamilton at Kitze.

That's very cool. I paid for Superwhisper, got tired of all the bugs, crashes, slow performance, and moved back to Wispr Flow. But I desperately miss being able to apply AI Flow to it after the text is dictated. I’ve been considering building my own, but will try out yours now!

Wow! I guess I’m canceling the whispr flow sub.. btw, curious, how long did it take from idea to shipped?

kitze 🛠️ tinkerer.club9 months ago

it took very long to polish this, @rovensky helped with making the initial mvp of shortcut + dictation + insert in a field, but it was a pain in the ass to polish it and release it tbh

So, I pulled the trigger and bought Sotto. It's pretty good. I'm actually using it right now. I also have a very strong accent. Can't complain. I was using Wispr Flow and I was spending way more money than just paying $29 once.

Damn this is actually dope, congrats on the launch @thekitze. I will definitely check it out once my wispr flow subscription expires, given that I got it for free for a yearly sub Tho having it all local is enticing already

Introducing Workshop: cloud + on-device agentic AI. And to celebrate, we're giving away $250k in Google Gemini AI credits. (details below). The future of AI work is neither cloud-based nor local. It's both. In Workshop Cloud, you can use agents powered by frontier models like Claude and/or open source models like Z.ai's GLM-5 to build internal tools, dashboards, and AI web apps. Or, breeze through tasks like managing your Google and Meta Ads. In Workshop Desktop, you can do all the same right on your computer, plus make desktop apps, mobile apps, and 3D creations. Our favorite part? You can power the full agent experience with local models like Qwen 3.5 family on your computer. Fully offline. 2026 is the year in which local models for agentic tasks will become viable for mainstream use. But the setup for tools like OpenClaw is like setting up Linux from scratch on your computer. Workshop Desktop is one-click to install on Windows, Mac, and Linux. It recommends which open source model you should use for your hardware and lets you download and run it right in the app. And its agent harness allows you to chat, create websites, build personal utilities, and analyze data. 100% offline. Or multitask with AI models in the cloud while running other agent threads locally. Start in Workshop Cloud when you want flexibility and speed. Download your project and continue in Workshop Desktop when you want local files, privacy, and/or better performance on large code bases. Publish from either. The agent tooling space is maturing and discerning users have come to expect a lot from their tools. We've packed Workshop with features to help you 10x your productivity. - Native support for skills - Autocompaction for seamless context management - Built-in AI for your apps - Dozens of connectors, like Google Drive, Big Query, and Supabase - dbt integration to ground your dashboards in your semantic layer - Native Github integration - Private app deployment - ... and more (+ we're shipping super fast) To access the free credit offer, RT this post and reply with "Workshop". Make sure you are following us so we can DM you the instructions to redeem. - First 100 to RT + comment get $500 in credits. - Everyone else gets up to $250 And thanks to our partners Modal, Google Gemini, and Z.ai!
