Devaito is an all-in-one AI business launcher that deploys a website, online store, mobile app, SEO infrastructure, blog, and social media automation from a single prompt — then keeps AI agents running continuously in the background to attract customers, answer support questions, and generate content. The pitch is 'launch everything, then let it work for you.' Where traditional no-code builders like Webflow or Squarespace give you a static site you have to maintain, Devaito deploys a full business stack including a sales pipeline and customer support layer, then runs agents on top of it indefinitely. The founding team is small (Symo Lahlou and two others), building with a product-led growth model. The risk is that this is a lot of surface area for a small team to maintain. But for solo founders or tiny teams trying to ship an online business without hiring, the pitch is compelling: one tool, everything running, no ongoing management required.

Walkie is a Mac and Windows dictation app that turns any text field into a voice interface. Hold your hotkey, speak naturally, release—and your words appear in whatever app is active: Slack, VS Code, Gmail, Terminal, Notion, anywhere. The app runs on-device using your choice of 7+ local models (Whisper variants, NVIDIA Parakeet, Moonshine, SenseVoice) or can optionally route through cloud servers with a zero-data-retention policy. The differentiation from basic OS-level dictation is the AI post-processing layer: Fast Mode removes filler words ("um," "uh"), fixes grammar, and adapts formatting style based on context (formal, casual, technical). A custom dictionary learns your domain vocabulary—medical terms, product names, variable names—and a snippet system lets you trigger full text expansions with voice shortcodes. Launching on Product Hunt today (April 6, 2026) with 107 upvotes, Walkie sits at #6 on the daily leaderboard. The free tier is genuinely useful: unlimited local mode plus 4,000 Fast Mode words per week. Pro is $6/month for unlimited Fast Mode and advanced smart commands. It supports 100+ languages via Whisper.
Reviewer scorecard
“The integrated approach — site, store, SEO, and support all in one system with shared context — could genuinely outperform stitching together Webflow + Shopify + Buffer + Intercom. If the AI agents actually stay on-brand, this is a massive time saver for solo builders.”
“Six dollars a month for unlimited voice-to-text across every app on my machine, with local processing as the default and filler word removal baked in. The snippet trigger feature alone is worth the price—I can say 'insert boilerplate' and have it expand a 200-word block. This is the Raycast of dictation tools.”
“A three-person team promising to replace your website, store, app, SEO, blog, social, CX, and sales pipeline is wildly ambitious. Each of those is a VC-funded company on its own. The risk of the agents drifting off-brand, generating bad content, or the startup shutting down is very real.”
“Whisper-based dictation apps are practically a commodity at this point—Flow, Superwhisper, and even native OS dictation do most of this. The AI post-processing is nice but adds latency. And I'd want to see the 'zero data retention' claim independently audited before routing sensitive voice data through any cloud tier.”
“This is the logical conclusion of the 'one-person billion-dollar company' thesis. If the agent layer is solid, you're looking at the first truly autonomous business operating system. The ambition is exactly right even if the execution is early.”
“Voice is the natural input layer for the agentic era—when agents can act on your behalf, you want to direct them by speaking. Walkie's voice command integration points toward this: not just dictating text but triggering OS-level actions by voice. The local-first model is also a meaningful privacy signal as voice data becomes more sensitive.”
“I love the concept but AI-generated social posts and blog content need a strong editorial voice to not feel generic. Until I can audit and tune the agents' brand voice deeply, I'd be worried about everything sounding like it came from the same ChatGPT template.”
“As someone who writes 5,000 words of content a week, I've been burned by cloud-dependent voice tools going down at the worst moments. Walkie's local mode with 7 model choices is exactly what I need—reliable, fast, private. The snippet expansion feature for my frequently-used phrases is a genuine time saver.”
