Bandicot

Say it. Your Mac does the work.

Hold the mic or press a key and tell Bandicot what you need. Your Mac hears you offline, only your own voice is sent, and saying stop ends the run.

Typing a long request breaks your focus, and most voice assistants send every sound in the room to a server and still cannot touch your files.

Speech becomes words on your Mac. The agent starts when you pause, takes what you add at its next step, and asks before it writes.

Hand off work out loud while your hands stay on what you were doing.

Why it holds
Speech becomes words on your Mac, and someone else talking nearby is never sent.
How soon
Hold the mic, say it, pause: the agent starts.
What it saves you
No typing a paragraph of instructions, no reaching for the mouse to stop a run.

What does the work, and what is still being built.

Every card names its status. Available now means you can use it today; in development and direction mean it is not shipped yet.

Free Bandicot core

Available now

Solo is free with every capability for one profile. Bring a provider key, a local model, or both; a provider's own bill stays yours.

Paid plans add profiles to an account. Bandicot does not resell model tokens.

A trusted harness around the model

Available now

Bandicot gives every agent a project, tools, a session that survives restarts, approvals, and a clear place to stop.

The native host owns execution facts. The model proposes work; it does not certify a write, spend, or success.

Projects that hold the work

Available now

Keep files, context, plans, and decisions with the project instead of losing them in a disposable chat.

A session is anchored to a project boundary so a pivot starts from an intentional context, not accidental history.

Durable work sessions

Available now

Close the window, restart, or pick up from another of your Macs without turning the work into a brand-new conversation.

The host records session state and every window reattaches to it. When a long chat is summarized, the agent can still search and reread what was there.

A human gate for writes

Available now

When work can change files or systems, Bandicot makes the decision visible before the effect lands.

The approval boundary fails closed when an action is not allowed. The model cannot grant itself permission.

Talk instead of type

Available now

Hold the mic or press a key and say what you need. Say stop to end a run, wait to hold it, yes to approve.

Speech becomes words on your Mac, offline, in English or Spanish. Someone else talking nearby is shown struck through and never sent.

Local models without a network

Available now

Once a local model is downloaded, chatting with it needs no connection.

Small local models run through llama.cpp on your Mac. Hosted providers still need the network.

Agents with a project boundary

Available now

Let an agent inspect, plan, and use tools inside the project you selected instead of an unbounded chat transcript.

The host controls tool calls, cancellation, permissions, and the final recorded result.

Recorded versions of the work

Available now

Every change an agent makes is a version: undo a whole run, restore one file, or drag a slider to put a folder back to any moment.

Works with or without git, on any disk you plug in. Restoring is itself recorded, so an undo can be undone.

Choose the model that fits

Available now

Use a local model, an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, or a hosted provider you sign in to, and switch per session without rebuilding the project.

Provider adapters keep model choice separate from project state. Remote providers receive the prompts sent to them.

For you if

People who would rather steer an agent by voice than by keyboard.

Not for you if

Dictating long documents word for word: voice here is for telling an agent what to do.

Focus is a feature.

Bandicot does these too, but they are not why this page exists. Anything marked in development or direction is not shipped yet.

  • Teams across machines
  • Shared compute, intentionally routed
  • Optional access controls
  • Nested profiles

Questions before you start

Does my voice leave my Mac?

No. Speech is turned into words on this Mac, and each sentence's audio is dropped once its words are written. The words go to the model your session uses, local or hosted.

What can I say to it?

Anything you would type. Say stop to end a run, wait to hold it before its next step, and yes or no to answer an approval that is already showing.

What if someone else is talking?

Their words show struck through and are never sent. Bandicot learns your voice when you open the window, so speak first.

Which languages and Macs?

English and Spanish, on Apple Silicon Macs with macOS 14 or later. Mute stops the microphone itself until you unmute.

Speech becomes words on your Mac. The agent starts when you pause, takes what you add at its next step, and asks before it writes.
