What is a voice-controlled AI agent?

It's software that takes your spoken words, turns 'em to text, figures intent, then acts—like making files or generating code—all local.

How do I install Whisper for local speech-to-text?

pip install openai-whisper, grab a model (tiny for speed), run offline. Handles noise, accents way better than old APIs.

Does this Streamlit voice agent need internet?

Nope—Whisper local, actions too. Pure offline bliss, minus any external LLM calls you add.
