## Flunkey

Flunkey is a small desktop assistant built with Tauri + React + TypeScript. It captures quick voice transcriptions (F8), sends queries to an LLM (F9), and provides a lightweight chat and transcript manager for fast, context-aware help while you work. The UI is compact and designed for low distraction.

## About
I'm a 17-year-old dude. I built this app for my personal use case. I wanted to simply press a hotkey and ask a question and have some sort of LLM give me the response. I couldn't find any other app or tool with the same feature available. So I built something that actually exists and works for me. Most important case for almost everyone out there.

This app follows a BYOK model using the Groq API key. You can plug your own API key from Groq. Groq offers a very 

I built it using a Rust-based Tauri framework since it is lighter and runs much faster compared to any other framework out there for a Windows desktop app. It is lighter and I'm using it because it will run on most computers, and it took me 5 to 6 months to build. Plus I design the logo and the poster's in the sites with some of the design skills i've got. 

Hope you guys like the app and you can contact me at rohansharvesh@gmail.com or flunkeymanager@gmail.com .
