About

I built this because I wanted to see how far I could get with a voice-to-text app that used 100% local models so no data left my computer. I've been using a ton for coding and emails. Experimenting with using it as a voice interface for my other agents too. 100% open-source MIT license, would love feedback, PRs, and ideas on where to take it.

AI Score Reasoning

Ghost Pepper is a promising privacy-focused utility that capitalizes on the 'local-first' AI trend, evidenced by solid initial engagement on Hacker News. However, it currently lacks a clear monetization strategy, a proprietary moat, or a formal team structure, making it a high-quality tool rather than a venture-scale startup at this stage.
