Kevin Liu releases Jarhead, an open-source voice assistant that operates a Mac
Overview
Kevin Liu releases Jarhead, an open-source voice assistant that uses a Mac the way a person would.
According to Liu's launch post on X, Jarhead opens apps, clicks through Spotify, browses the web, types, runs git, and marks up the screen while the user speaks to it.
Jarhead runs on GPT-Live-1, which listens and talks at the same time so users can interrupt it mid-task. Liu says its reasoning uses whatever the user already has, including Codex on a ChatGPT plan, Claude Code, or an API key.
