Evan Feenstra gives stakwork's Mike a microphone

A mic button on the chat box lets users dictate prompts instead of typing them.

chat-ui

Evan Feenstra added a microphone button to the chat composer in stakwork's fork of Mike, wiring it to in-browser speech recognition so a user can talk at the assistant and have the words land in the same box they'd otherwise type into. Everything downstream of the text field - how Mike interprets the prompt, what it does with it - is unchanged.

It's a small surface addition rather than a rethink of the chat layer, and the recognition appears to run client-side in the browser. Because this landed on the fork's main branch, it becomes the default chat experience for anyone tracking stakwork/mikeoss going forward, not an opt-in experiment.

So what Worth a look for anyone building legal-AI tools for lawyers who'd rather dictate between meetings than type - a low-cost way to make the assistant feel more like a colleague you can talk to.
