Interested, and disappointed that it's macOS only. I started something similar a while back on Linux, but only got through level 1. I'll take some ideas from this and continue work on it now that it's on my mind again.

Thanks! And good luck with your project as well.

One of the motivations for open-sourcing this is exactly to see it grow beyond macOS. I personally don’t have much development experience on Windows or Linux, so it’s great to see people picking up the idea and trying it on other platforms.

Interestingly, the original spark for this project actually came from my dad. He mostly uses CAD to review architectural design files, and there are quite a few repetitive steps that are fairly mechanical.Many operations don’t seem to be accessible through normal shell automation and end up requiring GUI interactions.

So one of the next things I want to try is experimenting with similar ideas on Windows, especially for GUI-heavy workflows like that, and see how far it can go.

How did you figure out it was an AI response?

"You're absolutely right" is a dead LLM giveaway. It's just not something that people use in every day English, especially on the Internet where no one ever admits they're wrong lol

In Chinese internet slang there's actually a joke called the 确实型人格, someone who just replies "true" or "your are correct" to everything.
