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

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Bandicot does these too, but they are not why this page exists. Anything marked in development or direction is not shipped yet.
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.
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.
Their words show struck through and are never sent. Bandicot learns your voice when you open the window, so speak first.
English and Spanish, on Apple Silicon Macs with macOS 14 or later. Mute stops the microphone itself until you unmute.
