The LLM turns my unstructured command into structured command (a limited set of commands hardcoded in the prompt) and a script takes that and executes it. I have it do stuff like interact with google keep/google calendar using the CLI. Those are the most used actions but there's a few others . Of course all actions can be scheduled.

The LLM can screw up now and then and output absolute garbage. But I've got a knack now for figuring out what prompts it's gonna be hopeless on and I manually enter those.

Example:

Saying

Remove makhana from shopping list

Ends up running the command

gkeep items edit shopping_list --check makhana

There is a direct text interface too that skips the voice transcription.

The main thing is it does in a background window without interrupting my screen or me needing to wait for whatever slow webpage to load. I had it do a few things on GitHub like remind me when checks pass on PRs. You could potentially connect it to various things like your amazon account to check on your order, etc,.. as I write this I now realise I did what basically amounts to what folks do with MCP today. Maybe I should update it to use the protocol.

These days I have a little more idle time as a grad student than I did in a tech company, and I don't really need to manage home/cooking/... so I don't really use some of the more complicated features. I mostly just use it to schedule 1on1s with my guide and add reminders about assignments and TA work and talks and my music class.

That is fascinating, thank you very much for sharing. Good luck with the grad work.
