Looks cool. I’ll try it out when I’m on a Mac, mostly use Windows for daily dev right now.
Been working on a similar side project based on something I prototyped when I used to work on Alexa but for windows first then likely going to be multi-platform through tauri: https://youtu.be/pA08_2xwrD4 https://youtu.be/pA08_2xwrD4
I think bringing another Siri/Cortana/Alexa like assistant to the desktop with today’s improvements will be useful but the thing I’ve always struggled with for past assistants is the right way to ensure that it’s not a chatbot (which generative models are good at) but instead something able to effectively and reliable complete common tasks you have (which they’re less good at).
The other thing that is very important imho is the ability to “teach” a new skill or flow that you want the assistant to accomplish. Today I’m playing with that by “watching” what someone does with their commentary and then turning that into data to learn from.
My real desktop based assistant will have “eyes” to see what I’m doing, have far field and near field speech reco, be able to “remember” what I’ve done without me having to explicitly tell it, and be configurable to map certain commands to certain programs with button and mouse control as needed.
