Richard: Voice-First Mobile Interaction for Persistent Tasks
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.39976v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Mobile terminals need to provide application and network services while supporting users' control over their attention. We explore voice-first interaction organized around requests and delegated tasks, allowing users to leave a conversation and later inspect, revise, and retrieve the work. We present Richard, a system prototype that manages voice sessions, task execution, and result delivery separately, linking them through persistent request records. Conversation and task views provide visual feedback, while the backend coordinates immediate r
