What SKI is
SKI is a cross-platform voice assistant built for AI coding agents, with versions for Mac, Windows, and Linux. Voice recognition and synthesis both run on your own computer, so no voice data is uploaded and the tool keeps working offline. You speak your requests, and SKI passes them to a supported coding agent such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or Gemini CLI. A green status dot shows when the agent is listening, and you can interrupt it while it is speaking. The site lists it as free for permanent use, and it is aimed at developers who want to give commands by voice instead of typing every line, with extras like screenshot sharing and calendar meeting joins on top of the core control.
What you can do with it
- Dictate coding requests and have the agent act on them.
- Interrupt the agent mid-sentence with full-duplex voice chat.
- Bind multiple projects and route voice to the right repository.
- Capture screenshots with a hotkey to give the agent visual context.
- Record meetings locally with no duration or retention limit.
Who it is for
- Developers who want to code and command agents by voice.
- Remote workers who check project status while away from a desk.
- Teams that need local, private meeting recording and transcription.
What to watch out for
The free-forever model could change, so check the official page for current terms before you depend on it. Getting started takes setup: install the app, connect a supported agent, and configure your projects, which is a real learning curve. Voice recognition runs locally, so a quiet microphone and clear speech help accuracy. Local meeting recording should respect consent and privacy rules in your region, and the responsibility for lawful use sits with you. Offline use is a strength, but it also means updates depend on you downloading new versions.
