Features
Built to keep you on the work that matters
Everything Work Assistant does, in one place — from voice-driven task management to nudges you can actually trust.
Voice chat that does things
Hold to talk and speak naturally. Work Assistant streams your voice to speech-to-text, runs an agent turn that can create and update tasks and goals — with duplicate detection so you don't end up with three versions of the same thing — and speaks its reply back to you, sentence by sentence.
- Push-to-talk, streamed over a live connection
- Creates and edits tasks and goals as you talk
- Embedding-based duplicate detection
- Spoken responses, not walls of text
Tasks & goals, your way
A clean kanban board for the day-to-day, plus longer-horizon goals that give the nudge engine something to measure against. Everything is manageable by voice or by hand — the board and the assistant are always in sync.
- Kanban board with comments
- Goal tracking for the bigger picture
- Edit by voice or directly on the board
- Updates reflect instantly
Nudges, not nagging
A scheduled midday check-in keeps you honest, and activity-aware nudges compare your recent window activity against what you said mattered. When they disagree, it speaks up. When you're already heads-down on the right thing, it stays out of your way.
- Scheduled midday check-in
- Activity-aware drift detection
- Understands idle stretches
- Snooze when you need to
Consent-first activity monitoring
The part that makes the nudges work is also the part we take most seriously. Activity capture is off until you accept a plain-language, versioned disclosure. If we ever change what's captured or who processes it, the version bumps and you're asked again. You can export everything or report content at any time.
- Off by default, opt-in only
- Versioned disclosure that re-prompts on change
- Full data export
- Content reporting built in
Bring your own model
Every model the app uses — the agent, nudge generation and evaluation, embeddings, speech-to-text and text-to-speech — is declared in a single config file. Switch the entire stack between OpenAI and a self-hosted, OpenAI-compatible server by changing one value.
- One config file for every model role
- OpenAI or self-hosted, your choice
- Swap providers without touching code
- Validated at startup
A real native app
Work Assistant is a lightweight native desktop app for Windows and Linux. The activity watcher runs as a small local process — not a heavy browser tab, and not something phoning home behind your back.
- Windows & Linux
- Lightweight local watcher
- Fast startup, low overhead
- No bundled browser runtime
