AICHE +OOpera Integration
Voice prompts for AI tools in Opera
Speak naturally to AI coding assistants in Opera instead of typing.
The short answer: open any AI coding tool in Opera (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini), click into the message field, press ⌃+⌥+R (Mac) or Ctrl+Alt+R (Windows/Linux), speak your detailed request for 30-50 seconds, and AICHE inserts the formatted prompt ready to send.
Typing detailed coding prompts repeatedly throughout the day creates physical fatigue and mental friction when you're trying to maintain focus on architecture and logic.
- Open Opera Browser and navigate to your AI tool (chat.openai.com, claude.ai, gemini.google.com).
- Click into the message input field.
- Press your AICHE hotkey to start recording.
- Speak your complete coding request with context (example: "create a Dockerfile for this Node.js application with multi-stage builds, Alpine base image, proper security hardening, and health checks").
- Press the hotkey again - AICHE transcribes, applies Message Ready formatting, and inserts the text.
- Press Enter to send the prompt to your AI assistant.
Heads-up: Opera's sidebar panels (including built-in messengers and AI features) operate independently from AICHE. Use AICHE for dictating to web-based AI tools in the main browser, not for Opera's sidebar features.
The pro-tip: Opera's workspaces let you group related tabs by project. Create separate workspaces for different codebases, each with relevant AI tool tabs open. Dictate context-specific prompts without mental context switching.
Result: detailed prompts that take 7 minutes to type become 85 seconds to speak, and Opera's tab management keeps your AI tool sessions organized during voice dictation workflows.
Do this now: open Opera, navigate to your preferred AI coding tool, press your hotkey, and dictate one DevOps or deployment configuration you've been thinking about but haven't articulated in detail.
