AI counter app from my talk at PyCon US 2024

I built this project for my Imitation Intelligence talk.

This little macOS app listens through the microphone and increments a visible counter any time anyone says "AI" or "Artificial Intelligence".

You need to download and extract the model file from here: https://alphacephei.com/vosk/models

Get the vosk-model-en-us-0.22-lgraph 128MB zip file and uncompress it. You need to have that vosk-model-en-us-0.22-lgraph folder in the same folder as counter.py

Then:

python -m venv venv
venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
venv/bin/python counter.py

Here's the ChatGPT transcript I used to help build the tool.

And a screenshot showing what the counter looks like:
