Lines where the two differ have a tinted background and bold values. Where the data itself says which value is better (more marketplaces, a larger figure of the same marketplace, a fresher release, a verified mark on a marketplace that lists both), the better one is also marked green with ▲ and the worse one red with ▼. Where it runs, the transport, the tools, the settings, hooks, the bundle's parts, the licence and the week's changes are marked only as different: more or fewer is not better in itself.

Put this Claude Code session on a full-duplex voice call (Azure GPT Realtime or GPT-Live, macOS): talk while it codes, interrupt anytime, hear results read back. Voice never approves permission prompts; they stay on the keyboard.
Speak AI
Search recordings, summarize meetings, create clips, and automate workflows from your AI assistant.
