Run Python Scripts by Voice Command

·5 min read

You have a Python script that processes data, but running it means opening a terminal, navigating to the right directory, activating the right environment, and typing the command. Or you need a quick one-off script and don't want to create a file. Vox runs code with your voice.

Run scripts from anywhere

Computer, run my data cleanup script in the analytics folder.

Cloud sandbox execution

For scripts you don't want to run on your local machine, Vox has a server-side code sandbox powered by Docker:

Computer, write a Python script that scrapes the top 10 Hacker News stories and run it in the sandbox.

Note

The Docker sandbox runs code in isolation — no access to your local filesystem or network. Perfect for running untrusted scripts or experimenting with new packages.

Quick one-liners

Don't even need a script file:

Computer, run a Python one-liner that converts all PNG files in my Desktop to JPEG.

Computer, use Python to calculate compound interest on $10,000 at 7% over 20 years.

Computer, run a shell command to find all files larger than 100MB on my drive.

Vox writes the code, executes it via run_local_command or the cloud execute_code sandbox, and reports the results — all from a single voice command.
