AYO
Hands-free AI on PC

How can I talk to AI on my PC without typing?

Short answer

Install AYO, a desktop AI for Windows. Once it is running you do not open anything: say "AYO" from any app, ask your question, and AYO answers out loud. It can also look at your screen when the question needs it.

Why a chat window is not hands-free

Chat apps like ChatGPT Desktop and Claude Desktop are windows you open and type into, even when they have a voice button. AYO works the other way around: it waits in the background for its name, so you never switch apps to ask something.

What happens when you say "AYO"

An on-device model hears the wake word on your PC. After you talk, that voice clip goes to a speech-to-text service to turn it into words; AYO does not save your voice as a file. A cloud AI model writes the answer, and AYO speaks it in its own voice.

Prefer not to speak?

Ctrl+Shift+Space wakes AYO without talking, and Alt+Shift+S opens Silent Ask so you can type. The answer waits in a small card in the corner.

Try saying

  • “AYO, what is a topic sentence?”

    Answers out loud: "It’s the sentence that tells the reader what the paragraph is about."

  • “AYO, what is this?”

    Looks at your screen and answers about it.

What to know first

  • Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit) only. There is no Mac, Linux, or phone version yet.
  • Speech is English only for now.
  • AYO needs an internet connection to answer. Only the wake word is detected offline, on your PC.

More questions

Is AYO a ChatGPT plugin?
No. AYO is its own desktop app made by AYO Systems. It uses cloud AI models to write answers and OpenAI speech-to-text, through AYO’s own server, to turn your voice clip into words.
Does AYO record my voice?
AYO does not save your voice as a file. After you say "AYO" and talk, that clip is sent to speech-to-text to turn it into words.
