# Voice Collaboration System

## Overview

This is the **world's first conversational browser automation framework**, enabling real-time voice communication between AI and humans during web automation tasks. This revolutionary system transforms traditional silent automation into interactive, spoken collaboration.

## 🎯 Vision

Instead of watching silent browser automation, users experience:
- **AI narrating actions**: "Now I'm clicking the search button..."  
- **Real-time updates**: "Success! Found the article you requested"
- **Interactive prompts**: "What credentials should I use for login?"
- **Voice confirmations**: Get spoken feedback during complex workflows
