🎙️ You can now talk to GeoLibre, and it talks back.

Voice command mode just landed in the GeoLibre AI Assistant. Click the mic, or hold the spacebar to push-to-talk: "Zoom to the counties layer." "Make the basemap dark."

And it's faster. Simple map commands are routed by TypeSafe's Jev instead of a full LLM round trip, cutting multi-second LLM execution down to sub-second, 10–20x faster. Anything complex still falls through to the full model.

Here's the demo, unsped-up: watch how quickly the AI Assistant responds to each command.
