DashVox is a voice-first AI engineering assistant for when your hands aren't on a keyboard. Commute, walk, bike, run, or just step out for coffee — DashVox lets you orchestrate real engineering work by voice. Kick off coding sessions on your dev machine, triage bug reports, review repos, draft release notes, or catch up on what happened while you were offline. The work runs remotely; DashVox keeps you in the loop and hands you a clean spoken summary when each task lands. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Spin up AI coding sessions on any SSH-reachable machine by voice. Your preferred coding agent handles the actual work on the remote end. • Keep the conversation going while sessions run in the background. Queue follow-ups, pivot to other topics, or just listen — DashVox surfaces each completion automatically when it's ready. • Run multiple sessions in parallel. The app batches completions cleanly so several finishing at once doesn't overwhelm you. • Ask general questions with built-in web search for current information. • Drop into raw shell mode when you need an unwrapped terminal command. • Every spoken reply is shaped for audio: plain prose, no emojis, no markdown noise, no JSON read aloud. MEET YOU WHERE YOU ARE • CarPlay: full chat and session experience on your vehicle's display — hands on the wheel, eyes on the road. • Apple Watch: spoken updates and quick status checks from your wrist. Take a call, take a walk, take a run — your background agents keep working. • iPhone + AirPods: voice input and audio-first output for errands, transit, the grocery line, or anywhere you'd rather listen than look. BRING YOUR OWN INFRASTRUCTURE • DashVox Cloud works out of the box. Prefer self-hosted? Point the app at your own backend and run the whole stack on your hardware. • SSH directly to your dev box over Tailscale, VPN, or the public internet. Direct-client mode skips the backend entirely for the lowest possible latency. • Bring your own agent: Claude Code, Claude Cowork, Codex, or any custom CLI. Agent profiles let you tune flags, session flags, and working directories per machine. • Password or private-key SSH auth, stored in the iOS keychain. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT • Non-blocking by design. Start a task, get the session id back instantly, and keep talking. When the remote agent finishes — minutes or hours later — DashVox tells you. • Burst-safe. Three sessions landing in five seconds? You get one clean summary, not three interruptions. • Audio-first. No visual noise. No JSON. No markdown tables read letter-by-letter. Every response is written for ears. PRIVACY AND CONTROL • Self-hosted is a first-class mode, not an afterthought. Run your own backend, keep conversations and sessions on your hardware. • SSH credentials stored in the iOS keychain, never synced to any cloud we control. • No ads. No tracking. No training on your prompts. WHO IT'S FOR • Software engineers who spend time away from a keyboard • Commuters, walkers, runners, cyclists, and anyone who'd rather listen to work happen than stare at a screen • Founders and tech leads who want continuity between the office and everywhere else
