Really nice read Harsehaj!

I haven't looked deeply into Web Bot Auth, but is identification tied to the agent (one identity per agent) or is it tied to the underlying person using the agent (the user)?

Hope that question makes sense, lmk if you need clarification

This is a dope concept. Can you explain how it works? I couldn't get how it works from looking at the GitHub repo. Thx!

Show HN: Freestyle – Wispr Flow Alternative that respects privacy

https://github.com/freestyle-voice/freestyle

Hey HN, I'm Matt. For the past couple of weeks, I've been hacking on Freestyle. It's an open source voice dictation app.I was an avid Wispr Flow user before but didn't like how it was cloud only. Every thought sent to their servers for transcription.I've been working on an alternative that lets you run models locally, like Whisper, Qwen, Sensevoice. That way thoughts never leave your device....

Hey y'all, I'm Matt. I've been working on open source voice dictation for the past couple of weeks. Really wanted to learn how local voice models work, and how apps like Wispr Flow are built.

Wanted to share my thoughts on the space, and why I believe voice dictation should be a free commodity.

Interesting, this is like Reddit for agents to autonomously browse around?
