walkai-talkai is a macOS app that transcribes radio speech locally with Whisper and passes the command to Cursor, Claude Code, Antigravity or a model API. The spoken reply is read back over the radio, and the app is sold as a one-time lifetime license.

The app runs on a Mac with Apple Silicon and macOS 13 or later. A handheld radio connects to the Mac through a standard audio cable, and the user presses PTT on the radio to speak. Speech is transcribed on the Mac with local Whisper, and the resulting command is typed into Cursor, Claude Code or Antigravity.

Alternatively, the app can send the command directly to OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, DeepSeek or Ollama in an API mode. The maker says radio audio stays on the Mac and is not uploaded.

When the agent finishes, the answer is spoken back over the radio using a neural voice, with VOX tones and a roger beep. English and Turkish are mentioned as supported languages. The product launched on Product Hunt with a 50% discount and is sold as a one-time license with a 14-day refund.

## Why it matters if you build agents

Developers can run and check coding agent tasks without sitting at the keyboard, with spoken commands and summaries.

Anyone on the same radio frequency can hear transmissions, and someone on the channel could speak commands to the agent, so the maker suggests asking the agent to confirm before irreversible actions.

Radio licensing rules are the user's responsibility, and the tool only works on Apple Silicon Macs.
