Summary
Ito is an open source voice assistant for Mac and Windows that enables users to interact with computers using natural voice commands instead of typing.

The founders believe voice interaction is more natural than typing and advocate for open source AI assistants for transparency and customization, positioning Ito as a future alternative to closed, dictation-focused voice tools.
