FAQ
Questions, answered
Voice control, narration, phone remote, trial, and how Devoxal differs from dictation.
Is Devoxal another IDE?
No. Devoxal is a voice operating layer for the coding agents you already use — Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, VS Code. The agent writes code; Devoxal is ears, mouth, and hands.
How is this different from Wispr Flow or dictation?
Dictation drops text into a field. Devoxal understands conductor commands vs coding prompts, auto-submits to IDE chat, watches agent deltas, narrates progress, and supports barge-in — including from your phone.
Do I need an API key?
During the free 14-day trial, yes — bring your own OpenAI key (stays on your Mac). Paid individual and team seats use hosted usage; local BYOK is overflow only. Keys are never shared across a team.
How do team seats work?
You must be on a Team plan with a card on file to invite. When someone accepts, that seat is billed (days 1–14 of your cycle = full price; day 15+ = half). Until payment clears they keep their personal plan. If payment fails for 24 hours they’re removed and emailed. Team Pro/Premium use a team-wide monthly on-demand cap; Team Enterprise also allows per-member monthly caps.
Which IDEs are supported?
Cursor first. Claude Code, Windsurf, and VS Code follow via thin adapters. Sync from the Mac dashboard when your IDE is open.
Can I control the agent from my phone?
Yes. Pair with QR or magic link. Speak and hear narration remotely while the Mac session keeps driving the IDE — no keyboard required.
What happens after the 14-day trial?
The app locks until you subscribe (Individual Pro/Premium/Enterprise or a Team seat plan). There is no permanent free automation tier in v1.
Does Devoxal train on my code?
No. Orchestration runs against your IDE chat and voice session. You control keys and cloud sync settings from the dashboard.
Windows support?
Mac ships first. Windows Electron is on the roadmap after the Mac MVP loop is solid.
