Voice and notifications

Voice input

The microphone button in the message box dictates text into the prompt. Choose one of:

A whisper model on your own computer — the audio does not leave the machine. This is the private option, at the cost of a download and some CPU.
A speech-to-text service — you provide the service and its key. Audio is sent to that service.

Dictation fills the message box; it does not send the message. Review the text before sending, especially names and numbers.

Notifications

PP Agent can notify you when an answer is ready, including when the window is in the background or closed to the tray.

Enable notifications in Settings › General.
On macOS, allow notifications when the operating system asks.

Tray and global shortcut

An optional tray icon keeps the app reachable while it runs in the background.
A global shortcut opens the app from anywhere.

Both are optional. If you use scheduled tasks or chat channels, keep the daemon running in the background; see Scheduled tasks.

Languages

PP Agent ships with English and Tiếng Việt, chosen in Settings › General or following your system language. Errors, approvals, and dialogs are translated too.

The language of the interface does not change the language the model answers in. Ask in the language you want, or state the output language in the agent’s instructions.

When sound matters

For meetings or shared spaces, dictation is the only feature that uses the microphone. Notifications can be turned off without affecting scheduled tasks or chat channels.
