OpenLive Adds Voice Interaction for Coding Agents
--yash · reddit · 2026-07-18
The open-source project OpenLive has been updated. It provides a local voice layer for any AI model/agent, running entirely on-device, keeping audio off the cloud, and avoiding per-minute billing.
Key additions in this update:
- Direct integration with coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, and Hermes
- Local execution of voice activity detection, speech-to-text, turn-taking detection, and speech synthesis
- Support for using your own accounts to speak directly with agents, which then use voice interaction when executing commands or editing files
- Conversations can be saved to respective agent histories, allowing workflows to start via voice and continue in the CLI, or vice versa
- Support for 5 to 30-second voice cloning, optional local voice engines, and more model providers
The project remains MIT licensed and is available for macOS and Windows.
