Talk with a live coding agent session from your phone and earbuds while you're away from the desk.

Walkie Talkie lets you talk with a live coding agent session while you're out walking. You speak, your words reach the session as a normal prompt, and the reply plays in your earbuds. The phone stays locked in your pocket, and you never type.

It has three parts: an Android app, a gateway on your Mac that turns speech into text and replies into speech, and a small add-on inside each agent session. Speech is recognized and spoken on your Mac, with no cloud speech service.

A live session can do anything you can do at its keyboard, so access is strict. Every call starts with your fingerprint, the gateway accepts only your one paired phone over a private network, and calls end on their own.

It works only on Android phones and on Macs with Apple chips for now.
