Show HN: Hitoku Draft – Context aware local assistant

Hitoku Draft, an open-source, voice-first AI assistant that runs entirely locally, now includes transcription with voice editing and context-aware features that read the user's screen, documents, and active app. The assistant can perform tasks such as querying PDFs, replying to emails, creating calendar events, and editing text via voice commands, supporting Gemma 4 and Qwen 3.5 for text generation. A compiled version is available for free with the code HITOKUHN2026, as the developer seeks feedback to expand adoption beyond tech circles.

Hi guys. I have been working on Hitoku Draft, an open-source, voice-first AI assistant that runs entirely locally. I posted about it already, and now it has also transcription with voice editing. Looking for feedback, as I found that outside tech circles other people still do not use this tech much. It's context-aware, in the sense that it reads your screen, documents, and active app to understand what you're working on. You can ask about PDFs, reply to emails, create calendar events, use web search, editing text, all by voice. You can download a compiled version for free with the code HITOKUHN2026 https://hitoku.me/draft/ https://hitoku.me/draft/ base price is 5 dollars It supports Gemma 4 and Qwen 3.5 for text generation, plus multiple STT backends Parakeet, Qwen3-ASR . Examples: - Gemma4 in action, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgfI-3YjEVU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgfI-3YjEVU - query a pdf document, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggaDhut7FnU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggaDhut7FnU - reply to email, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFnHXMBp1gA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFnHXMBp1gA - and the usual voice dictation with optional polishing I currently use it a lot with Claude Code and Logseq. Now with some friends we are also building a new cross-platform version. The goal is on the long run to have AI interactive local models serving people and professionals.
