Voice

Sometimes it's faster to talk than to type. Perisclaw understands voice two ways.

Voice notes in chat

Send a voice note to any chat (your self-chat or, with /claw, another chat) and Perisclaw listens, understands, and acts on it just like a typed message. Dictate a reminder, ramble through a task, or think out loud; it figures out what you need.

Record "remind me to call the dentist tomorrow morning and move my 2pm to Thursday" and your assistant handles both.

It also reads voice notes other people send you. Ask for the gist of a two-minute ramble in a group, or a verbatim transcript of what a client said, and you get it back as text. Same for photos and PDFs.

• "What did Priya say in that voice note?"
• "Transcribe the last audio in the vendors group and translate it to English."

Voice notes Perisclaw sends

It works the other way too. Ask for a voice note and Perisclaw speaks the message instead of typing it. Useful for people who'd rather hear than read, and the reason one of the most popular automations is a morning voice note to a cook or a driver.

"Send my cook a voice note with today's menu."

You'll see the wording first, the same as any other message it sends for you. It's the delivery that changes, not the approval step.

Live voice conversation

For a hands-free, back-and-forth chat, open your conversation with Perisclaw in the web app (press Cmd/Ctrl + K on any page) and choose Start voice mode in the composer. It listens as you talk and replies out loud, like a phone call.

You don't have to wait for it to finish, either. Talk over it any time and it stops and listens, the way a real conversation works.

The transcript on screen is just an aid during the call; it doesn't become a separate conversation. When you end the call, any follow-ups land in your WhatsApp self-chat as usual. This is handy when you're on the move or have a lot to work through and don't want to type it all out.

Walk your tasks by voice

Start a live voice session (open the Perisclaw chat with Cmd/Ctrl + K and choose Start voice mode) and go through your tasks hands-free. Just say what to do: "mark the invoice one done," "snooze the venue follow-up till tomorrow," or "send Mira a quick follow-up." Perisclaw acts on the matter you name and keeps you posted as it works.

With a task open in Today, press Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + L to record a voice note to Perisclaw about that task, and press it again to send. The reply box under the chat also records WhatsApp voice notes to the person you are talking to.
