Say “Hey Dottie”
Speak a request. Dottie dictates, reasons, or runs the full task end-to-end, and shows its work.
“The voice control is shockingly good. I just say ‘email John I’ll be late’ and it does it.”
Mike S.
“Dottie runs models locally on your Mac, can control files and apps by voice, and works fully offline, which makes it the best privacy-first Siri replacement here.”
