THREE CLEAR STARTING POINTS

From your first
question to voice.

Check your hardware first. Then agree on a voice setup or assess a specific integration, with clear scope and pricing before work begins.

02 / GIVE IT A VOICE

Local voice setup

Scoped help connecting your microphone, local chat model, and speaker output.

Quoted for your PC
  • Connect compatible microphone and speakers
  • Configure local Whisper transcription
  • Configure Kokoro speech and check the loop
  • Assess an agreed basic tool command
Discuss a voice setup

Compatibility checked first. Hardware, licenses, and optional paid services are separate.

03 / EXPLORE WHAT’S NEXT

Custom integration assessment

Find out what an advanced camera or device connection would actually require.

Assessment first
  • Review the specific device and available interfaces
  • Assess camera audio or automation requirements
  • Identify access, compatibility, and testing needs
  • Provide a scoped implementation estimate
Describe your integration

An assessment does not guarantee compatibility. Implementation is quoted separately.

NO MYSTERY BOX

A setup built
around you.

Local AI can process supported tasks on your computer. What works well depends on the model, your hardware, and the tools you connect.

  1. 01

    Tell us what you want to do.

    Writing, questions, experimenting, or a specific workflow. Start with one useful job.

  2. 02

    Check what’s realistic.

    We review the computer, discuss limits, and agree on the work and price.

  3. 03

    Set it up. Try it together.

    For an agreed setup, we walk through the workflow and leave you with practical next steps.

WHY CATALYST

Built from hands-on
work with local voice.

Catalyst’s PC voice architecture connects a USB microphone, local Whisper transcription, a local language model with tool handling, and Kokoro speech through Windows speakers.

That experience informs a practical service: check compatibility, agree on the scope, and test the complete loop on the target computer. Camera microphones, camera speakers, and broader device automation remain custom assessment work.

GOOD QUESTIONS

Before you
jump in.

Do I need an expensive graphics card?

Not always. Some models can run on a CPU, while suitable graphics hardware may improve speed or support larger models. The readiness review starts with your actual computer and expectations.

Does local mean everything stays offline?

Local inference can keep supported processing on your PC. Model downloads, updates, connected tools, and optional cloud services can still use the internet. We discuss those connections as part of the scope.

Am I buying a finished Catalyst appliance?

This is a setup and support service for compatible computers. The personal Catalyst project is still evolving; advanced household integrations are assessed separately.

How do booking and payment work?

Send a request first. We confirm availability, deliverables, timing, and price by email. Payment instructions follow once the work is agreed. This site does not collect card details.

What information should I send?

Your operating system, CPU, installed memory, graphics card if known, and what you want to do. Please leave out passwords, API keys, private documents, and remote-access credentials.
