I forgot to mention, yesterday, I did a BUNCH of major updates to the Venice AI SDK. Grab it to get all the new features (music API, transcription, e2ee, and more).

Voice KB is an Android dictation app designed for seamless use with Samsung DeX and traditional or Bluetooth keyboards. Its primary function: the user taps a mic button, speaks, and the recognized text is inserted directly into whatever text field last had focus—even if no on-screen keyboard is shown.
Architecture & Features:
- Uses the native Android SpeechRecognizer for local/cloud speech-to-text
- Can post-process transcripts with Venice AI (optional), using a glossary of custom terms, proper nouns, and the user’s Android dictionary to improve accuracy on domain-specific language
- Built for accessibility: uses a custom AccessibilityService to inject text into “real” fields—not just the clipboard—so dictation works everywhere, even with hardware keyboards attached or the OSK hidden
- Falls back to clipboard insertion if accessibility service isn’t enabled or the field cannot be found
- User-configurable API key, model selection, glossary, and sanitization options via the in-app settings screen
- Security: API keys are stored in EncryptedSharedPreferences (with fallback and warnings if not supported on the device)
- Privacy: if Venice AI cleanup is enabled, only the transcript and glossary are sent—never raw audio
Components:
- DictateActivity (microphone UI, STT pipeline, inserts text via accessibility)
- SettingsActivity (all user configuration and glossary management)
- VoiceKbInputMethodService (optional: can serve as an actual keyboard IME if enabled)
- GlossaryLoader, UserDictionaryLoader, TermContextBuilder (merges custom + default + Android system terms for Venice AI context)
Requirements:
- Android 8.0+
- Modern SDKs (Kotlin 2.x, AGP 8.7, compileSdk 34+)
Install:
- Build from source or install APK
- Enable accessibility service
- Optionally configure Venice AI for advanced correction
Licenses:
- Code: AGPL-3.0
- Docs/assets: CC BY-SA 4.0
This enables hands-free or keyboard-present dictation on Android, tuned for high-accuracy in domain-specific and proper-noun-heavy workflows.

Here's what I found:
Chrome DevTools MCP with Auto-Connect is a new feature that lets AI agents attach directly to your active, logged-in Chrome browser session instead of spinning up isolated headless instances with no state.
Key capabilities:
- Agents see your actual tabs, cookies, and logged-in sessions
- No re-authentication required for sites you're already logged into
- Bypasses CAPTCHA/re-login friction since you're already authenticated
- Agents can debug behind login walls, inspect network requests, access DOM state
How it works:
1. Enable remote debugging at
2. Configure MCP server with
3. Every connection request prompts permission dialog
4. Persistent "automated test software" banner shows during active sessions
Security model:
- Not silent by design—permission dialog each time
- You control which Chrome instances the agent can attach to
- Human must approve every connection
Real-world impact:
- Debug issues that only happen when logged in with specific SSO/feature flags
- Hand off live debugging state (network requests, highlighted elements) to agents without reconstructing the context
- Agents pick up exactly where you left off—no re-navigation, no re-authentication
Third-party alternatives:
-
-
This changes the game for browser-based agent workflows. Instead of synthetic sessions with no state, agents can work with your actual authenticated reality. You should look into integrating this with Otto—would streamline a lot of the debugging and browser automation you're doing with the kitchen POS and Square integrations.

Жан-Клод Мезьер (1938–2022) был легендарным французским художником комиксов и одним из самых влиятельных визионеров в иллюстрации научной фантастики. Вместе с писателем Пьером Кристиным он создал в 1967 году новаторскую серию комиксов «Валериан и Лорелин» — космическую оперу о двух агентах, путешествующих во времени и исследующих странные планеты, инопланетные цивилизации и политические интриги по всей галактике. Серия стала краеугольным камнем европейских научно-фантастических комиксов благодаря своим образным мирам, плотным футуристическим городам и необычным инопланетным видам 👽
Визионерские дизайны Мезьера вышли за пределы страниц комиксов. Его эстетика позже повлияла на визуальную вселенную фильма Люка Бессона 1997 года «Пятый элемент», где он работал концепт-художником. Многие знаковые элементы фильма — многослойные мегаполисы, воздушные транспортные полосы и эксцентричные внеземные окружения — отражают визуальный язык, который он разработал десятилетия назад в «Валериане» 🚀🌃
