📰 Medium · LLM

Learn to build a voice-controlled AI agent using Streamlit, Whisper, and Ollama to create a powerful tool that understands intent and takes action

intermediate Published 15 Apr 2026

Action Steps

Install Streamlit, Whisper, and Ollama on your local machine to set up the development environment
Use Whisper for speech-to-text functionality to transcribe voice input into text
Implement intent classification using Ollama to route the text input to specialized tools
Build a UI using Streamlit to interact with the voice-controlled AI agent
Test and refine the AI agent to improve its accuracy and responsiveness

Who Needs to Know This
