Hack #8: Cursor · Cursor

Atlas is a voice-first AI assistant for your desktop. You operate your entire computer just by talking — open apps, take notes, read your screen, see through your camera, generate images and music, find files, control your system. Sixteen tools, all voice-callable, running natively on macOS, Windows, and Linux. The problem: every computing interface today assumes you can use a keyboard. That's a friction tax for everyone and a wall for the 250M+ people globally with motor impairments. Existing voice control tools are pre-LLM and feel decades old. Atlas is built on four ElevenLabs primitives — Conversational Agent for orchestration, Scribe v2 for sub-150ms speech-to-text, Flash v2.5 for streaming TTS, and Instant Voice Clone so Atlas speaks in a voice you actually chose (a partner, a mentor, anyone meaningful). Half-duplex mic gating, native interruption, sub-second total latency. The voice loop just works. Cursor shipped most of the code with me — a cross-platform Tauri 2 desktop app (Rust core + React frontend) with a Cloudflare Workers backend, built and polished in seven days solo. Available now: landing-roan-psi-56.vercel.app Talk to your computer. It does everything.
