VoxAgent's a local voice AI agent using Whisper for speech-to-text, Ollama for intent, and safe local file actions — all in a Streamlit UI.

How do I run VoxAgent on my laptop?

Install Streamlit, faster-whisper, Ollama; pull a small model like llama3.1:3b; run the app. Works on CPU, no GPU needed.

Does VoxAgent work completely offline?

Yes — fully local stack. Fallbacks handle model timeouts or absences.
