m’kay

m’kay is an AI voice interface that connects to desktop agents on the Mac from any browser or phone.

M'kay lets you talk to the AI agents on your Mac from any browser or phone using voice. A small open-source connector on your Mac drives agent apps you already use, and you sign in once to link it. You can ask what your agents are doing, have them read replies aloud, or give them the next task. It supports talking to Claude, ChatGPT/Codex, and Cursor on your own Mac. You can sign up for the hosted voice page or run everything locally with local models or your own API keys. It requires Apple Silicon and macOS 13 or later.
