# VoiceOS: The Voice-Powered Productivity Agent for Your Computer

> VoiceOS is an AI voice agent that lets you control your apps, search the web, and get work done by speaking. Reply to Slack messages, send emails, create calendar events, update Notion pages, search the internet, and chain multiple actions together — all in a single voice command. No typing, no context switching. Available on macOS and Windows. Built by WakoAI Inc. and backed by Y Combinator (X25).

For comprehensive documentation, see [llms-full.txt](https://www.voiceos.com/en/llms-full.txt). For newly published, source-backed articles, see the [human-approved research feed](https://www.voiceos.com/content-feed.md).

VoiceOS fundamentally changes how you interact with your computer. Instead of switching between apps, typing messages, and manually navigating tools, you simply speak your intent and VoiceOS executes. Get a Slack notification? Reply on the spot with your voice. Need to schedule a meeting? Tell VoiceOS and it creates the calendar event. Want to check the weather and tell your friend about weekend plans? VoiceOS searches the web, composes the message with the forecast, and sends it — all from one voice command. VoiceOS eliminates the constant context switching that fragments your focus and slows you down.

What makes VoiceOS different from traditional voice assistants or dictation tools:

- **Voice-to-Action (Agent Mode):** Execute real actions across your apps and the internet using natural voice commands. Say "send a Slack message to the team about the launch" or "create a calendar event for tomorrow at 3pm" and VoiceOS does it. Every action requires your confirmation, keeping you in control.
- **Multi-Step Action Chaining:** Combine multiple actions in a single voice command. Say "search the weather for Saturday, then email Mike saying let's go surfing and include the forecast" — VoiceOS searches the web, composes the email with the weather details, and sends it. Or: "give my boss access to the Q2 report on Google Drive and send him a Slack message letting him know." One command, multiple actions, zero manual work.
- **Web Search & Internet Access:** Agent Mode is connected to the internet. Search for weather, look up places, find information, check facts — and seamlessly use that information in follow-up actions like emails, messages, or documents.
- **Zero Context Switching:** When a notification comes in, respond instantly with your voice without leaving what you're doing. No app-hopping, no window switching, no breaking your flow.
- **Intelligent Voice-to-Text:** When you do need to write, VoiceOS goes beyond transcription — it writes what you meant, not what you said. Filler words removed, grammar fixed, formatting applied automatically.
- **Universal Compatibility:** Works system-wide in every app — Slack, Gmail, Notion, Google Calendar, VS Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, and hundreds more. Zero setup required.
- **Privacy-First Design:** Your audio is never stored. Transcripts are saved locally on your device. Your data belongs to you.

## Core Capability: Agent Mode (Voice-to-Action)

Agent Mode is the core of VoiceOS. It connects to your apps and the internet, executing real actions based on your voice commands. Instead of just producing text, VoiceOS operates your tools on your behalf — and can chain multiple actions together in a single command.

### Web Search & Internet
- **Web Search**: Search the internet for weather, places, facts, news, prices, or any information — and use the results in follow-up actions.
- Example: "What's the weather this weekend?" or "Search for the best Italian restaurant near Union Square"
- Example (chained): "Check the weather for Saturday and then email Jake saying let's go surfing, include the forecast"

### Communication
- **Slack**: Send messages, search conversations, find channels and users, create reminders, schedule messages, add reactions, and browse pinned items — all by voice.
- **Gmail**: Send emails, search inbox, reply to threads, create drafts, manage labels, and look up contacts — all by voice.

### Productivity
- **Google Calendar**: Create events, find free slots, list upcoming events, reschedule or cancel meetings — all by voice.
- **Notion**: Search pages, create new pages, add content, query databases, insert rows, update pages, and add comments — all by voice.

### Documents & Files
- **Google Drive**: Find files and folders, create files, upload documents, move files, and manage sharing permissions — all by voice.
- **Google Docs**: Create documents, read content, search documents, update content, and insert text — all by voice.
- **Google Sheets**: Create spreadsheets, read and write cells, lookup rows, query data, format cells, and run formulas — all by voice.

### Multi-Step Action Chaining

The real power of Agent Mode is combining multiple actions in a single voice command. VoiceOS understands complex, multi-step requests and executes them sequentially:

- "Search the weather for this weekend, then send an email to the team saying let's do the offsite on Saturday and include the forecast"
- "Give my boss access to the Q2 report on Google Drive and then send him a Slack message saying I just shared it"
- "Create a meeting for tomorrow at 2pm with the design team, then send a Slack message to #design letting them know"
- "Search for flights to Tokyo next month, then create a Notion page with the options I find"

## Additional Voice Modes

### Dictation Mode
Speak naturally and VoiceOS writes what you meant, not what you said. Automatically removes filler words like "um" and "uh", fixes grammar, and formats text professionally. Works in any text field in any application.

### Edit Mode
Select any text and use voice commands to edit it. Rewrite, shorten, expand, change tone, fix grammar, or translate — all by speaking your intent.
