I got sick of juggling 9 apps to get through my day, so I built a voice assistant that actually does things

Siri and Google can answer questions but still can't actually *do* much. So I built the thing I wanted: you say what you want, and it just happens. Order placed, cab booked, email sent — no tapping, no app-switching.

It's called Vokal (working name). "Hey Vokal," talk normally, and it executes across your apps — Google (calendar, gmail, reminders), the Swiggy world, Uber, more coming.

I'm about a week from putting it in people's hands and want honest feedback first:

* Useful, or a solution looking for a problem?
* What would *you* want to just say and have done?
* What would stop you trusting a thing like this?

Happy to drop a short demo clip in the comments. And if you want to actually test it when it's ready, comment and I'll get you in. Roast away.
