Many of us now work alongside AI tools all day. A coding agent runs in one window, a chat assistant sits in another tab, and a meeting recorder hums along somewhere in the background. Each one is useful on its own. Keeping track of all of them at once is where things get busy.
SlashVibe takes a fresh approach to that. It’s a dedicated AI workspace that sits beside your computer, with its own display, built-in voice input, and a detachable wireless controller. It connects to the AI tools you already use and gives them a physical home on your desk. Your main screen stays free for the work itself, and SlashVibe keeps the AI side of your day in view.
SlashVibe is now live on Kickstarter, and backers can reserve theirs today at $169.
The centerpiece is a 3.96-inch LCD housed in sandblasted, anodized aluminum. It shows what your AI tools are working on and flags anything that needs your input. Think of it as a status board for your AI tools, small enough to sit next to your keyboard without crowding it.
Close reading and detailed editing still happen on your computer. SlashVibe can now handle the quick check-in: you glance over, see what’s moving, and decide what needs your attention next.
The controller talks to the display wirelessly, and the display plugs into your computer with a USB-C. It works with macOS and Windows through the SlashVibe+ companion app, and it supports more than 20 AI agents and tools. That list includes Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot CLI, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode. If you’ve already settled into a favorite set of tools, chances are good SlashVibe works with them.
This is the feature I find most interesting. SlashVibe lets you capture to-dos by voice, then add, update, or delegate work the same way. Each to-do can carry one or more AI tasks underneath it.
Say your list includes “Prepare a client proposal.” Beneath it, you might have one AI task gathering reference material and another drafting the proposal itself. Check the list, and you can see how that work is coming along: what’s ready for review and what still needs you.
If I had to put it down to a sentence, I’d say it’s a small structural choice with a big effect. Your responsibilities and the AI work helping you finish them live in the same place. That means less hunting through tabs, and a list that reads more like a project board, with progress shown under each item.
Anyone running several AI agents at once will like the agent view. Switch to it and SlashVibe shows which sessions are running, which have finished, and which are waiting on you.
Pick a session and its window comes to the front on your computer. You can also approve permission requests and choose options right on SlashVibe. Want to change direction or keep going? Press the voice button and speak your next instruction to the selected agent. When an agent stops and waits for you, SlashVibe updates its status and plays a short alert, which you can switch off when you need to focus.
For developers juggling parallel tasks, this could save a lot of window switching. You get one place to check on every session and step in only when you’re needed. Agents keep working in the background while you stay focused on whatever is in front of you.
Meetings get their own mode. SlashVibe brings recording, live notes, and contextual help to the display beside your computer.
Recording starts and stops with physical controls, and muting takes a single tap. Live notes scroll on the display as the conversation moves, so you can scroll back if you lose the thread for a moment.
The joystick lets you browse prompts drawn from the conversation itself. “Catch me up” fills in what you missed. “Break that down” explains a complex point. “What should I ask” suggests follow-up questions. Answers appear update on the SlashVibe display, so you get help without pulling attention away from the people you’re talking to.
Calendar integration makes the start smooth. When a meeting is about to begin, one press switches to meeting mode and starts recording. Once the meeting ends, action items become to-dos, and related work can be handed off to AI. The full meeting notes stay on your computer for later review.
That last step ties the whole system together. A meeting produces action items, those action items land on your to-do list, and AI tasks can start moving them forward right away.
Voice is central to how SlashVibe works. SlashVibe is ready to record in under 100 milliseconds after you press the voice key. Built-in dictation handles agent instructions, emails, notes, and messages. It supports English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and more. You can also configure local speech-to-text if you’d like.
Dual MEMS microphones pick up your voice, and a built-in 2 W speaker handles audio output. Being able to speak an instruction instead of typing it is a nice shift, especially when your hands are already busy or you’re mid-thought. It also makes delegating feel quicker. You say what you need, and the task is on its way.
The detachable controller is where SlashVibe gets a bit more personal. It connects to the display over 2.4 GHz wireless and pairs Kailh ultra-low-profile mechanical switches with a two-axis joystick.
You can use it a few different ways. Leave it next to your keyboard with the joystick under your thumb. Pick it up and lean back in your chair. Or bring it closer when you want to speak quietly. The display stays on the desk while the controller goes wherever you are.
The controller housing is ABS+PC with soft-touch upper surfaces, and the action keycaps are anodized aluminum to match the display. A 500 mAh rechargeable battery gives it a rated 20 hours of use, which comfortably covers long workdays.
SlashVibe also comes with a developer SDK. Users and developers can connect additional agents, design custom displays, and build interactions around their own tools and workflows. That opens the door for the device to grow well beyond its launch features, shaped by the people who use it every day.
Assembled, SlashVibe measures 4.13 × 3.52 × 0.82 inches and weighs 9.70 ounces. That’s compact enough to live permanently beside a laptop or monitor. It comes in Black and Silver, and the aluminum display housing and base give it a clean, solid look on the desk.
In the box, you’ll find the SlashVibe device, a USB-C data cable, and a user manual.
SlashVibe offers a free software plan. Optional paid plans raise the limits for cloud dictation and storage. You keep using your own AI tool accounts, and any subscriptions or API usage those third-party tools require are purchased directly from their providers.
SlashVibe launched on Kickstarter today, and the campaign is open for backers now. First backer shipments are scheduled for March 2027.
If you are already working with multiple AI tools, SlashVibe offers a calm, dedicated place to see them all. It keeps your to-dos, your agents, and your meetings within arm’s reach, and the controller lets you step in from wherever you’re sitting.
