Voice mode

Talk to your team instead of typing — the same conversation, spoken.

You don't have to type. Tap the mic in the composer and Busy Bee opens a full-screen voice session: you talk, an agent replies out loud, and the conversation runs exactly like a typed one.

How it works

  • Speak your request — your voice is transcribed as you talk.
  • It routes like any message — whatever agent would handle a typed version handles the spoken one. There's no separate "voice bot," just your team, listening.
  • The reply is read back — the agent's answer is spoken aloud and shown on screen as it comes.

The whole loop runs self-hosted — no API keys, no per-use cost. The mic only opens while a session is active; it's never held in the background.

Starting a session

The mic sits on the composer wherever you start work — the Work page, a task, or a chat. Tap it, wait for the greeting, and start talking. Close the session any time to drop back to typing; whatever you kicked off keeps running.

When to use it

Voice is a straight swap for typing:

  • You're away from the keyboard but want to get something moving.
  • You'd rather think out loud than compose a message.
  • A quick back-and-forth is simply faster spoken.

For a precise, carefully worded request, typing is still the better tool.

Where it fits

Voice runs on the same pipeline as everything else — see How it works for the loop it plugs into, and Work for the board you start from.
