The full story
After a hand injury left them unable to type, the maker has been building, by talking to Claude Code, a full-screen face on their Mac that they speak to. When it opens something, that takes over the screen and the face moves to a corner.
Claude Code sessions do the work. A manager session hears what's said and hands work to a session per project folder. Quick requests go to a Haiku session kept running so it answers in about a second, and anything needing thought goes to Opus. Each ability is a small command Claude wrote: opening the browser, driving an Android phone over ADB, editing video. It drives Chrome through an extension and other apps through accessibility, and the face uses a small lip-sync model the maker made, running locally.
It isn't finished. The maker's lessons: give it tools rather than instructions, make it prove things with a screenshot, and suspect its latest change when something breaks; a recent file-upload change crashed Chrome repeatedly.
