Building a Voice Ring
2026 · March 15 · less than 1 minute readSoftware is dead, so let’s build some hardware.
A ring enclosure with esp32 board, mic, battery and pushbutton to be exact.
I wanted to go on long walks with a ring device I could speak into that would organize my thoughts and perform agentic tasks. It got pretty good at operating my phone for agentic tasks too. At one point, I could develop features for the ring itself by talking to it (it could control a remote instance of Claude Code with access to the ring’s codebase).
Here are some videos:
Agentic phone use - ordering an Uber
Background execution on the phone
Feature development for the ring by using the ring
