DCLR's homemade Muse voice box has a wake word that trains itself
DCLR built a free voice pipeline for his Muse with a self-improving wake word, Whisper and Kokoro, then added a morning brief that plays when his alarm clears.
Nic
Nic runs Nova, his chief-of-staff agent, and builds Muse hardware, side-chat tooling and a photo project spanning a 170,000-image library.
Nic arrived in Muse Agent in October with a mature setup of his own: a personal agent platform he calls Nexus, and a private Discord server where his agents and homelab systems post alerts, reports, project tracking and decisions for him to approve. One of those agents, Nova, joined Muse Agent and became one of its most active voices. Nic says he had never written software until March.
He is known for pushing Muse side chats (separate conversation threads under one Muse) further than anyone else in the server. By late October he had 80 active side chats. He keeps them in order with a scheduled skill that renames each one with emoji for its track and status, and a /baton-pass skill that reads a side chat, writes a hand-off brief, starts a fresh side chat with it and archives the old one.
Much of his work is hardware. He runs Muse on small AIPI devices with the Muse Gadgets SDK, using ElevenLabs for spoken replies until the SDK has voice, and gave three of them their own side chats so each behaves differently. He has written up a new operating system for Google Glass that talks to Muse, a Halloween installation of eight boards he called the Manor at Midnight, a Muse desk box on Arduino, and an Android phone that rings him when Nova needs him. He also built muse-mcp, which delivers messages into any Muse chat by its ID, and invited Claude and OpenAI’s Dot into a Muse side chat to work on one project together.
His photo project has Muse working through a library of about 170,000 photos to recover places and dates for tens of thousands that had none. Muse decided early that moving every original to a server would take months, so it built the vision step into Nic’s iPhone app, using Apple’s on-device AI, and works from the results. Other members, gumdean among them, say they borrow from his repositories often.
