Kivi is a voice AI application for Mac developed by Sarvam AI that enables users to write, edit, and work across various applications using natural-language voice commands. The app is powered by Sarvam's Saaras V4 speech-to-text model, which supports over 22 Indian languages and English.
Kivi features two main modes on Mac: Dictate mode, activated by holding the Fn key to convert speech into polished text at the cursor position, and Hey Kivi mode, activated by pressing Fn + Control, which allows users to create content, rewrite text, or change formatting.
While Kivi is currently live on Mac, a Windows version is actively in development with an open waitlist program. Additionally, some HP laptops already come with the Kivi application pre-installed through a partnership between HP and Sarvam.
