Gairvis
A discontinued AI assistant that reached 10 users and evolved into an open-source, local-first Wispr Flow alternative.
Gairvis reached 10 users and provided a useful foundation for the next product direction. The original standalone product has been discontinued.
Outcome: open source and local-first
The work was made open source and continued as a Wispr Flow alternative with a local LLM option. The decision was to focus on a less expensive, better-fitting local tool rather than keep competing with another standalone product in an intensely competitive market.
The continuation is Wispr Alternative Local LLM, a macOS tool for local dictation, configurable LLM commands, and agent handoff.
What remains
Gairvis is preserved here as part of the build history, not as an actively developed commercial product. The learning and development effort continue in the open-source successor.
