Whistle for Mac: Voice-Controlled Agent Sessions for Conductor
charlieholtz · x · 2026-08-01
Developer Nabeel Hyatt built Whistle, a Mac menu bar app using the Conductor API to help users quickly capture ideas and hand them off to an agent.
Users simply click the tray icon and speak or type an idea about a new feature or bug. Whistle automatically starts a new session in Conductor. The agent works in the background to create a worktree, do research, and prepare a plan, which will be waiting for the user the next time they open Conductor.
Charlie Holtz from Conductor noted that the community has already built mobile clients, orchestrators, and other tools using the API. He expects that within a few months, most Conductor workspaces will be created by agents.
