Web-based, local-first voice recorder for taking long rambling walks, creating locally-saved recordings, with local Whisper transcription, and optional remote LLM processing by Agents.

Inspiration

VoiceNotes and Untold mobile apps

What it does

Records audio, transcribes it, creates notes with titles and transcription, and can optionally run LLM Agents against the transcript to create outputs such as summaries, action items, insights or cognitive reframing.

How we built it

Prototyped in React Native on Bolt. Then in Web. Bolt had trouble with audio. And lost some work. Almost gave up, found Addy Osmani's Say worked really well and decided its inner workings could serve as a good foundation.

Challenges we ran into

Accomplishments that we're proud of

It works!! And works pretty well on both mobile and desktop! Should be a great foundation for further experiments.

What we learned

How to create voice recording, transcription and AI features in React Native and React Web.

What's next for AI Voice Recorder

Tightening up the UI on all devices. Adding more AI and note management features, avatars for agents. Sharing and full export/import.

I realized I only submitted the most recent bolt fork after about 12 different forks:

First version: https://bolt.new/~/github-hhmgdfxe With saving audio: https://bolt.new/~/github-hhmgdfxe-z312yyjz Refactor to Zustand: https://bolt.new/~/github-hhmgdfxe-tog1ezmx

Spent versions 6-10 trying to unbreak audio blob handling https://bolt.new/~/github-hhmgdfxe-tm2zmw4k

Then gave up at last minute, reverted back to v5 and reimplemented agents. https://bolt.new/~/github-hhmgdfxe-poiuucvj

Some initial prototypes: POC: https://bolt.new/~/sb1-lmamfpsd React Native Expo: https://bolt.new/~/sb1-u8y3f1mn
