just how do I elicit a response from Agnitio?
Uhm, I don't really understand your question. You just have to give a voice command and then Agnitio will execute the command given. The commands are listen in the main user interface!

Thanks for the reply. I'm having a little difficulty coaxing Windows 10 into responding to Cortana (it can) and speech recognition (some issues) and Agnitio (not at all initially but later very well).
When I did have Agnitio running it reacted very quickly with the caveat that I had three of everything for example, 'open command prompt' promptly opened 3 windows. I'll try on a couple of other machines. On my Surface Book, Windows updates seem often to hamper recording rather than enhancing it, particularly as they like to fuss with the firmware.
Anyway, nice work so far and I'll be interested to see developments in Agnitio
