FAQ

Does it work without internet? Wake-word detection runs locally (sherpa-onnx). Realtime speech recognition and synthesis use DashScope cloud models.

Can the agent delete files without asking? No. Destructive operations trigger a spoken confirmation — you must say yes.

Which platforms are supported? macOS (desktop orb, TUI, Web UI), Linux (TUI, Web UI). Node.js 22+ required.

Do I keep my existing agent setup? Yes. The voice layer sits in front of your agent; your context, permissions, and tooling stay untouched.

Can I customize the desktop orb? Since v1.7.0, orb skins are decoupled and custom skins can be imported via QWEN_AUDIO_ORB_SKIN.
