Sparrow-2
A turn-taking model that knows when a voice agent should speak
Emerged finds new products worth a look, daily — what’s new today
It splits a fast voice front-end from a slower sandboxed worker, so you get quick answers and real tasks done without paying for another model plan.
Nico is a voice assistant for Apple silicon Macs. Hold the right Command key, speak, and a front agent replies at once while a worker agent picks up the task in a sandbox: reading mail, drafting documents, browsing, watching folders or pages. It runs on an AI plan you already pay for, from Claude and ChatGPT to any compatible endpoint. Memories stay on the Mac, and sending mail or spending money needs your approval. The core is free; Plus adds full voice for $15 a month.
