The windup for the pitch should have everybody nodding along. The pitch is yikes.

  Can you say more? I didn't find the pitch particularly compelling but also didn't see it as "yikes". Seemed like a regular productivity tool pitch what am I missing?

    Trying to build a frontend for all other services elicits an immediate grimace on a few levels. All-in-one, swiss-army-knife solutions are never superior to dedicated tools; hence Unix philosophy, hence microservices, a lot of engineering thought reflects this. Introducing possibly-leaky abstractions onto everything you do gives shivers. For another, introducing LLMs into every layer of your workflow is not a productivity panacea. It's a dangerous distraction at this point in my opinion. The security implications of a single tool that you grant this much access give another moment to cringe. It could be incredibly nifty, even useful, and my gut reaction would still be "hnnngh noooo." Near the end of the current version of the copy it claims Raycast to be "inspired by early command line interfaces;" I just prefer the command line interface, thanks.

  Agree. Still not sure how this can help me.
