The Main Interaction Model

  • Maestro sends commands to the application currently in focus.
  • Most spoken commands follow an action + selector pattern.
  • A numbered alternatives list appears while Maestro interprets your speech.
  • The first valid interpretation runs automatically unless you choose another one.

Good First Commands

  • next line
  • go to line 10
  • add function hello world
  • insert equals value plus one
  • delete line
  • undo

Modes You Should Know

  • Command mode: interpret speech as structured commands.
  • Type mode: force literal text and symbols exactly as spoken.
  • Revision box: edit text or code in a dedicated popup, then send it into another app.
  • Text input: type into Maestro first, then submit it as a request with alternatives.
