New: AI Voice Assistant 1.0 is out — control your PC by talking to it.

Productivity

AI Voice Assistant for Windows

Talk to your PC — it opens apps, searches the web and handles the boring clicks

Say what you want and it happens: open File Explorer, search the web for something, find a file, launch an app, change the volume, take a screenshot or read out an answer. A wake word listens locally, so nothing is sent until you actually ask.

Natural voice commands

Ask in your own words. No rigid phrase list to memorise.

Opens apps and folders

Launch programs, jump to a folder in File Explorer or open a specific settings page.

Web search and answers

Runs the search and reads the answer back instead of leaving you a blank browser tab.

Finds your files

Locate documents by rough description, date or file type across your drives.

System control

Volume, brightness, media keys, screenshots, sleep, lock and shutdown.

Local wake word

Wake-word listening never leaves your PC, with push-to-talk and a mic kill switch.

About AI Voice Assistant for Windows

An assistant that actually presses the buttons

Most desktop assistants either answer questions or automate tasks. This one does both. Ask it
something and you get a spoken answer; tell it to do something and it does it — opens File Explorer
at a specific folder, launches an application, runs a web search and brings up the results, finds a
document you half-remember, mutes your audio or takes a screenshot.

How a request flows

  1. Say the wake word, or press your hotkey.
  2. Speech is transcribed and turned into an intent.
  3. The matching action runs on your PC, and anything worth saying out loud is spoken back.

Because intent matching is natural language rather than a fixed phrase list, "pop open my downloads
folder" and "show me downloads" both land in the same place.

Things people ask it every day

  • "Open File Explorer in Documents"
  • "Search the web for the best mechanical keyboards in 2026"
  • "Find the invoice PDF I saved last week"
  • "Launch Visual Studio Code"
  • "Set volume to thirty percent"
  • "Take a screenshot and put it on my desktop"
  • "What's the weather tomorrow?"
  • "Start a twenty-five minute timer"

Privacy by design

The wake word runs entirely on your machine, so the microphone is not streaming anywhere while you
work. Only the request you actually speak is processed, you can see a full history of what was heard
and what was done, and you can switch to push-to-talk if you would rather not use a wake word at
all.

Getting started

  1. Download and extract the ZIP.
  2. Launch the app and pick your microphone.
  3. Choose a wake word or a push-to-talk hotkey.
  4. Say "open File Explorer" to confirm everything works.

System requirements

Windows 10 (1903+) or Windows 11, 64-bit. Microphone required; internet needed for web answers.

AI Voice Assistant for Windows — questions and answers

Does it listen to everything I say?

No. Wake-word detection runs locally and nothing is processed or sent until the wake word or your hotkey triggers a request. You can disable the wake word and use push-to-talk only.

Do I need an internet connection?

Local actions such as opening apps and folders or changing the volume work offline. Web searches and general knowledge answers need a connection.

Which languages are supported?

English works best today. Additional languages are being added; you can pick your recognition language in settings.

Can it control any application?

It can launch and focus any installed application and drive Windows itself. Deep in-app automation is limited to apps that expose accessibility or command-line interfaces.

Is it a replacement for Cortana?

It covers the practical parts people missed when Cortana was retired — opening things, searching and system control — without a Microsoft account.
