Deiko turns spoken UI descriptions into briefs for AI coding agents

Summary

Deiko is a macOS tool in public beta that follows the cursor while the user speaks, allowing them to describe a bug or desired change by pointing at the relevant interface. A double-tap of the Right Option key starts capture in any app or on any monitor; users can hover over elements, speak in one language or mix two, and hold Option to lasso a region. When capture stops, Deiko produces cropped and labelled screenshots together with a brief, which can be reviewed and dragged into Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, Codex, Gemini, or another text field. The product is designed to pass real UI context to coding agents instead of relying on a manually typed file path or paraphrase. Deiko says screenshots and briefs remain on the Mac, while audio is deleted after transcription. After the initial 30 free minutes, transcription runs on-device without a connection; Pro adds cloud transcription, session history and replay, and support for a user’s own Groq key, while a Sarvam or Groq key can be used without sending voice to Deiko’s servers. The app requires macOS 14 or later and supports Apple Silicon and Intel. The public beta is offered without an account or credit card, with a licence stored in the keychain; the listed Pro beta price is $29.99 per year.
