The problem

Talking is faster than typing for long instructions, and free, local dictation apps already exist (see the list below). What general dictation gets wrong is the vocabulary of your own project: file names, function names, library names, the product's own words. You end up correcting by hand, which defeats the point.

What to build

The layer that makes dictation good for working with agents: it reads your project to learn its vocabulary, and uses that to get the words right. It could be an add-on to an existing open-source dictation app instead of a new one.

A strong entry

Runs on your own machine. Gets clearly fewer words wrong on a real codebase than the same app without it, and shows the comparison. Works with whichever agent you already use.

Ideas show what people want. They carry no money and no prize of their own: an entry that builds one competes for the main prizes like any other.
