Summary
Why
ACP agents consume the text Buzz sends them, but the desktop composer had no voice-to-text input. Buzz already ships an on-device speech model for huddles, so composer dictation can reuse that local capability without adding a cloud transcription dependency or another API key.
User impact
Users can dictate a draft, review or edit the resulting text, and then send it to people or connected agents through the existing message path. The first use may briefly wait for the local speech model download, and macOS will request microphone permission.
