Thank you, Product Hunt. Let's keep building together.

On July 30, we launched SKI (Voice coding for your agents) on Product Hunt, and by the end of the day it became the #1 Product of the Day. It was a moment we had dreamed about for months, and seeing all the hard work finally pay off is something we'll never forget. To everyone who upvoted, left a comment, reported a bug, shared feedback, or simply gave SKI a try, thank you. Every bit of support meant more than you know.

The launch introduced SKI to thousands of people, brought invaluable feedback, improved our visibility across search engines and AI search, and opened doors to opportunities we wouldn't have had otherwise. Beyond the numbers, it reminded us that great products aren't built in isolation. They're shaped by the people who use them.

As we continue building at Pattern AI Labs, we want this community to grow alongside us. That's why we've started a Discord community where we'll share early previews, product updates, behind-the-scenes progress, and new launches. More than that, it's a place for founders, developers, and anyone curious about the future of AI to connect, collaborate, share what they're building, learn from one another, and help shape what we build next.

Makers of SKI here — ask us anything before we launch

Hey We're the team behind SKI, launching on Product Hunt this Thursday and we wanted a place to actually talk with you before then, not just pitch.

Quick what-it-is: SKI is voice coding for Claude Code, Codex and more. You talk, your agent builds, and it answers you out loud like a real person, not a text box. It's not dictation; it closes the loop. Everything runs on your machine (local speech in, local voice out), it's free for life, and it can even join your meetings.

We'd genuinely rather field your hard questions than sell you. Things people usually ask:

How does it stay fully local what actually runs on-device?

SKI - Free voice coding for Claude Code, Codex and more

We just built SKI — voice coding for Claude Code, Codex and more. It's not dictation: your agent answers you out loud, like a real teammate, so you build at the speed you think. You can even bring it into a meeting to build live, or send it in your place to speak for you. It's an ambient thing that just sits on your desktop — hit a key, talk, it works. All on your machine, free. Available on Mac & Windows.
