>1. Is the user productive or distracted?

Pomodoro and todo list apps are so yesterday. Now I can have my graphics card observe me as an ever-vigilant guardian of productivity.

That might sound sarcastic, but moving context between prompts and just keeping the gears turning often isn't really that cognitively engaging these days. Thus, attention suffers.

So, that's actually pretty useful.

It’s funny how some people try so hard to protect their personal data, while others just give it all away.

You could pitch it as your "digital nagging housewife", or a "micromanager in a box". How about "your time wasting interrupt-otron" or just "flow-breaker"?

Seriously why would you think AI could read my mind and tell me what to do next without knowing my goals?

This sounds like the irritating tangential follow-on questions they ask on steroids. Generally irrelevant and take the conversation in a direction you don't want to go.

Woah, this is super cool! I'd love to hear more~

What motivated you to build this? What did you learn? What is your favourite part?

this sounds cool but on the website I saw the previous version where its more like a passive device to listen, transcribe and save. how does it record the screen and doens't capturing the screen and converting that into text takes a lot of time? That will make it super slow. isnt it?

What kind of token usage you have with this setup? Also why both ChatGPT and Claude?

I guess you have to turn it on. Might be handy for things like electrician courses, DIY jobs, maths homework etc. Maybe one day even surgery!
