Meet my little AI-powered rubber duck. I decided to create a desktop AI tool that would allow me to talk out my free-form thoughts as I worked through a problem at work or started a technical design and capture summaries, notes and decisions made along the way to help me document the process.

What this tool needed was to be in the form factor of a rubber duck. So I designed this guy to house a USB lavalier microphone that I could plug into my computer. The duck has a print-in-place sliding cover underneath to allow access to the hollow section for inserting the microphone.

Note: the internal cavity is quite small, you will need to remove the foam windscreen from the mic (if it has one) and insert from the inside of the beak with a pair of needle nose pliers.
