Overview
Catch is a local Windows voice assistant built as a personal beta/testing project. It is not intended for public deployment or production use. The repository is public and open: clone it, fork it, modify it, and build on it for your own experiments. Catch uses local speech recognition and a local Ollama model for planning, with deterministic fast routes for common commands. The working wake phrase is "Hey Jarvis." The original idea was "Hey Catch" to match Catch/CatchAI, but the model actually trained and working in this beta is Jarvis. Catch can open and close applications, manage files and folders, perform Windows controls such as locking the computer and adjusting volume, search and play media from Spotify and YouTube, look up weather and factual information, and report system resource usage. It also provides a voice experience with wake word detection, follow-up listening, and a floating UI that shows different states. CatchAI recently underwent an extensive hardening pass across media selection, information retrieval, Spotify integration, and application safety. The project is still actively under development and testing, and should be considered a beta, not a production-ready application.
