Agentica v0.2.0 — Interactive voice mode + a visual canvas

Talk to Agentica hands-free, and watch it answer with live visuals.

🎙️ Interactive voice mode

  • Continuous conversation — no tap-to-talk. Always-listening (Silero VAD), and you can interrupt it mid-sentence (barge-in).
  • Open-weight + local — Whisper (speech-in) + Kokoro (natural speech-out), all on your machine. Models download on first use.
  • Cloud option — Gemini Live realtime, opt-in with your own API key (Settings). The agent + canvas still run locally.
  • Expressive remote voice — point it at a GPU box for a heavier voice (Chatterbox/Dia/XTTS) over an SSH tunnel.

🖼️ A canvas beside the conversation

  • Ask "what's the weather" and get a multi-day forecast chart; the agent also renders charts, tables, markdown, and images.
  • Embedded live web pages you can click, and an agent-driven browser whose screenshots stream into the canvas.
  • Click a card to keep the conversation going.

Under the hood

  • Agentic chat now streams tool steps + visuals mid-turn (was all-at-once).
  • New backend voice gateway, canvas tools, and provisioning — all open-weight.

Note: the macOS build is larger (~230MB) because the natural-voice runtime ships with it. First voice use downloads the voice models.
