Wake Word

Push-to-talk is the real, primary input method.

Not verified

This documentation could not confirm always-listening wake-word activation as a currently shipped, verified capability. Push-to-talk (a keyboard shortcut, configurable in Settings) is the confirmed, primary voice-input method — use that unless you have separately verified wake-word support in your build.

How it works

What you see

  • A desktop companion you talk to by voice or text, with optional spoken replies, personality and appearance settings, and live task progress.
  • You can customise personality, voice and appearance, including uploading your own compatible 3D model.

What PawOS does

  • Requests you make to the companion go through the same task and permission flow as typed ones.
  • Your speech is shown as text so you can review it before sending; spoken replies read summaries, not raw logs.

Permissions

  • The companion follows the same permissions as everything else — it cannot skip an approval.
  • Appearance and personality never change billing, connections, files, commands or security.

Records

  • Tasks started through the companion leave the same Work Records as typed tasks.

Good to know

  • Push-to-talk with review-before-send is the input model.
