Meet Dispatcher: The Flying Linux Computer You Command by Voice

In this explosive “One-Shot” episode, we’ll dismantle the complexities of building a flying Linux computer—GPU, 5G, real-time inference, and all—and see how voice commands can orchestrate everything from speed adjustments to target tracking.

Maxwell Wang, SpaceX software engineer, created Dispatcher, an end-to-end aerial AI system that’s turning sci-fi ambitions into practical, weekend-ready tech.

Imagine telling a drone, “Back up 50 meters,” and watching it respond instantly—no clunky menus, no joysticks. That’s the magic of Dispatcher: a system that blends local compute for real-time tasks with cloud-powered LLMs for semantic understanding.

The result?

A frictionless, voice-driven aerial experience that scouts parking lots, follows targets, and returns home—all in one fluid operation.
