Overview

About This Skill

How to Use

["Install TalkiTo: Run `pip install talkito` or clone the repository if you need the latest features. Ensure you have the required dependencies (e.g., `speech_recognition`, `pyttsx3`).","Configure voice channels: Set up the desired input/output channels (terminal, API, or phone) by following the TalkiTo documentation. For terminal, use `talkito --setup terminal`. For API, configure the webhook endpoint. For phone, register a Twilio number or similar service.","Define voice commands: Create a YAML or JSON configuration file mapping phrases to actions. For example, a command like 'Run tests' could map to a shell script or Python function. Use the TalkiTo CLI to test commands locally before deploying.","Integrate with agents: If using an AI agent like Claude, configure TalkiTo to send recognized commands to the agent's API or webhook. Use the agent's SDK to process the command and return a response, which TalkiTo converts back to speech.","Deploy and monitor: Deploy the configuration to your chosen channel (e.g., host the API on a cloud service or set up the phone integration). Monitor logs and performance using TalkiTo's built-in tools or third-party monitoring services."]

Usage Examples

Prompt Template

Use TalkiTo to [ACTION] via voice commands. For example: 'Set up a voice-controlled agent in TalkiTo that [TASK] when I say [PHRASE].' Replace [ACTION], [TASK], and [PHRASE] with your specific needs. Ensure the command includes the channel (terminal/API/phone) and any required parameters.

Example Output

I configured TalkiTo to control my local development environment via voice commands. When I say 'Hey TalkiTo, run the test suite,' the system triggers a Python script that executes pytest in the project's virtual environment. The output is streamed back to me in real-time through my terminal. For API interactions, I set up a custom endpoint that listens for the phrase 'Deploy to staging.' When detected, TalkiTo sends a POST request to my CI/CD pipeline with the latest commit hash, triggering a deployment to the staging environment. The response from the API (e.g., 'Deployment successful') is converted to speech and played through my speakers. For phone integration, I programmed TalkiTo to listen for the command 'Check my emails.' When I call the dedicated phone number, TalkiTo connects to my Gmail account, reads the subject lines of my unread emails, and allows me to dictate replies that are then sent as voice messages. The entire process is seamless, with no manual input required beyond the initial voice command.
