They use it to draw diagrams, open browser previews or handoff work each other.", "summary": "A developer has built Starkomand, a macOS app that gives AI agents a shared Excalidraw-style canvas where they can draw diagrams, open browser previews, hand off work to one another, and share memory. The tool supports voice control via NVIDIA Parakeet and GPT Realtime as well as camera-tracked hand gestures, and runs entirely locally with no cloud storage, accounts, or additional API keys required. The developer says it was built over three to four months and is now available at starkomand.com.", "body_md": "I use Excalidraw a lot at work to draw diagrams, plan projects, and visualize how new features will work. I also use iTerm to organize my AI agents.\n\nThen I started using third-party apps like superwhisper because I was tired of typing. I wanted to explain things to my agents using my voice instead.\n\nAt some point, I decided to build my own tool combining everything.\n\nI built an early version and showed it to my coworkers. They were blown away and immediately wanted to use it when it was ready.\n\nSo, for the past 3–4 months, I've been building a macOS app that brings everything together on one canvas.\n\nHere's what it can do today:\n\nAgents can draw beautiful diagrams, open browser previews, hand off work to each other, and share the same memory.\n\nYou can control everything with your voice. I've integrated two providers: NVIDIA Parakeet and GPT Realtime. I personally prefer GPT Realtime.\n\nYou can even control your canvas with hand gestures. Your camera tracks your hand movements, and each gesture triggers a different action.\n\nSometimes, I don't even touch my laptop. I just use my voice and hand gestures to get things done.\n\nBut I didn't want to build another overwhelming AI tool.\n\nI wanted something minimal, customizable, and easy to work with. No hectic layouts or texts or tools around.\n\nYou can also isolate your agents into separate workspaces. One for your 9–5, another for your side projects, and so on.\n\nPrivacy was another priority. Everything runs locally on your Mac. Your workspaces and agent data stay on your machine. I am coming from security background so this part was important to me to keep everything locally.\n\nNo cloud storage. No accounts. No additional API keys required to run this app. It already using your AI subscriptions.\n\nI'll keep improving Starkomand based on user feedback, but I think I've built something different here. Not the typical ADE.\n\nIt's the tool I always wanted for myself. Now I want to share it with you.\n\nGive it a try at [starkomand.com](https://starkomand.com)  🪐 (yes, buzzlightyear's mission control name)\n\nLooking forward for your feedbacks!", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/my-agents-now-have-a-canvas-they-use-it-to-draw-diagrams-open-browser-previews", "canonical_source": "https://dev.to/thedevtimeline/my-agents-now-have-a-canvas-they-use-it-to-draw-diagrams-open-browser-previews-or-handoff-work-5alf", "published_at": "2026-09-22 03:54:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-22 04:22:36.686508+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "ai-tools", "ai-products", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["Starkomand", "Excalidraw", "iTerm", "superwhisper", "NVIDIA Parakeet", "GPT Realtime", "macOS"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/my-agents-now-have-a-canvas-they-use-it-to-draw-diagrams-open-browser-previews", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/my-agents-now-have-a-canvas-they-use-it-to-draw-diagrams-open-browser-previews.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/my-agents-now-have-a-canvas-they-use-it-to-draw-diagrams-open-browser-previews.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/my-agents-now-have-a-canvas-they-use-it-to-draw-diagrams-open-browser-previews.jsonld"}}
