What does a fully local voice AI agent do?

Handles voice/text commands offline: create files, generate code/quizzes/summaries, chat with memory—all using Whisper and LLaMA 3.

How do you fix Whisper transcription errors locally?

Normalize quiet audio, use beam_size=5 and temperature=0, bundle ffmpeg with imageio-ffmpeg. Avoid global patches.

It reruns the shared Python process; fix with st.session_state for isolated memory per tab.
