Runner Agent.
A local voice companion.

Tap the orb, speak, and get a spoken answer back through a fully local voice loop. The preview runs mic capture, VAD, speech-to-text, a compact on-device language model, and Supertonic text-to-speech on Apple Silicon.

Desktop runtime

The full voice loop in one signed app.

Runner is an app shell over the Soniqo speech engines, not a cloud client. First run downloads the speech models; after preload the current desktop path is tuned around a compact unified-memory budget.

Studio creates voices. Runner talks with them.

Speech Studio and Runner are two faces of the same local speech stack: one for voice production, one for live voice-agent interaction.
