OpenCohost v0.3.0-alpha.4: public alpha available

OpenCohost now has a downloadable public alpha: v0.3.0-alpha.4 with a Windows installer (OpenCohost-0.3.0-alpha.4-x64-setup.exe).

What it is today

A local-first voice co-host for streamers: push-to-talk (via LiveAudio), agenda, per-profile memory, and OBS + Twitch chat integration. Stack: Python + Tauri/React + Ollama + optional cloud LLMs + Piper TTS + LiveAudio STT + OBS.

Important clarifications:

  • Local-first, not 100% local flat-out: Ollama runs on your machine; cloud LLMs are optional.
  • Twitch is the default. YouTube is an opt-in extra (youtube-chat) with no promised parity.
  • The current UI is Tauri (React+TS). The previous CustomTkinter UI is frozen and receives no new features.

This is an alpha: expect bugs and report them as repo issues.
