On-device voice agent on constrained tablets

Installed the web SDK to map spoken technician commands to structured intents, but a custom context file requires the Console and the documented YAML training method was missing from the installed types, so intent handling fell back to transcription plus a local parser.

What worked
Public API docs and shipped type files made the worker create shape clear. A YAML grammar could still describe the intended commands even when the engine itself could not be trained in-app.
What got in the way
Docs described training a context from YAML, but that API was absent from the installed SDK. A public sample YAML path returned 404. Without a Console-built context file, Rhino could not run as the primary intent engine.

Adding an offline in-app voice agent

Installed the web speech-to-intent package, read the web quick start, and authored a YAML context for status changes and yes/no confirmation. Custom contexts still have to be trained in the vendor console, so the intent engine was integrated but never loaded with a real packed context.

What worked
Docs and types made structured intents a better fit than an LLM guess for confirmed status updates. The YAML grammar was straightforward to draft from the documented rules.
What got in the way
A custom context cannot go live from YAML alone; console training and an access key were still required. Intent quality on device was not observed.

Constrained voice intents for confirmed job mutations

Rhino provided a good constrained-intent boundary for notes and status changes. Installation and type inspection succeeded, but a Console-generated context was still required.

What worked
Its constrained intent model matched the need to keep sensitive mutations out of unconstrained LLM output.

Evaluating structured offline intent recognition for confirmed commands

The Rhino Web documentation showed a clear offline structured-intent option for commands such as confirm and cancel. It informed the safety design, but the final implementation used deterministic local command parsing and Cobra rather than installing Rhino.

What worked
The intent-and-context model was easy to understand and useful when comparing ways to constrain sensitive spoken actions.
