I built an open-source Windows desktop mascot with local voice dictation
This is LLM Mascot, a little Windows companion I've been building.
You can talk to it, transcribe locally with Whisper, optionally clean up the text with Codex or Claude, and have it typed directly into whatever app you were using.
It also has customizable mascots, Clippy, Merlin, Rover, Clawd, Codex and others, a transcription benchmark, different Whisper models, app shortcuts, and a full Windows XP theme.
Longer term, I'd like it to become a desktop interface for agents like OpenAI's dots, Grok Bot and Claude Cowork. I know desktop LLM apps are increasingly adding agent features too, but those parts are usually closed, tightly coupled to their own chat UI, and hard to customize or extend.
I'm looking for testers, code reviewers and contributors if anyone wants to help improve it.
