the voice layer for AI
Talk to your AI.
Hear it back.
Speak to Claude, GPT, Gemini or Perplexity and hear it answer out loud — a real conversation, hands-free.

Plan my morning.
Here's your day — three deep-work blocks, gym at noon. Want it on the calendar?
Three steps to a conversation
1
Connect your AI
Pick your provider and paste your key — Claude, GPT, Gemini or Perplexity.
2
Press to talk
Hit your hotkey or say the wake word, then just speak.
3
Hear it answer
Your AI talks back out loud. Reply by voice. Repeat — hands-free.

Watch a full spoken conversation, start to finish.
UI/UX preview
Preview the alert-only macOS flow
Download a self-contained prototype showing the intended menu bar app, local-first M1 direction, and voice alert flow. It is a design preview, not the finished AI Talk Back app.
Built for talking, not typing
Hands-free conversation
A real two-way voice loop — speak, listen, reply. No keyboard.
Works with any LLM
Claude, GPT, Gemini, Perplexity. Switch anytime; keep one voice UI.
Your key, no markup
Bring your own API key. You pay providers directly — we never mark up tokens or TTS.
Private by default
Your conversations and keys stay on your device. Nothing routed through us.
Talk your way
Push-to-talk, toggle, or a wake phrase — you choose how it listens.
Low-latency voice
Tuned for fast first-word playback so it feels like a conversation, not a wait.
Dictation only goes one way. We go both.
Tools like Wispr Flow turn your voice into text. AI Talk Back closes the loop — your AI speaks back, so you can have an actual conversation with your hands free.
Dictation tools
Voice in → text out
AI Talk Back
Voice in → voice out → voice in…
Start free. Bring your own key.
All the voice loop, a fraction of the price of typing-only tools.

What developers are saying
"I haven't typed a prompt in a week. I just talk and it talks back. It completely changes the coding flow."
"Finally, hands-free AI that actually feels like a conversation. No more context switching between IDE and browser."
"Switched all my LLMs behind one voice. The local alert mode is brilliant—it only speaks when it actually needs me."
Questions
Which LLMs does it work with?
Claude, OpenAI's GPT, Google Gemini, and Perplexity — with more on the way. Switch between them anytime.
How do API keys work?
You bring your own key for each provider. AI Talk Back talks to the provider directly with your key, so you pay them at cost — we never mark it up.
Is my data private?
Yes. Your keys and conversations stay on your device. We don't route your audio or text through our servers.
Which platforms are supported?
Desktop first, built as a native app experience. Current platform availability is shown on the download.
What does it cost?
Free gives you 1 hour of talk-back a month with two voices. Plus ($9.99/mo) raises that to 10 hours. Pro ($19.99/mo) is unlimited and lets you connect ElevenLabs for your own custom voices. You bring your own LLM key and pay providers directly.
Do I need my own API key?
Yes — that's what keeps it private and markup-free. Paste your provider key once and you're set.
