🚀 Automate This: An AI-Powered Personal Assistant for Daily Tasks
🔹 Overview
As a college student, I often repeat small but time-consuming tasks—opening apps every morning, organizing files, or sending messages. What if an AI-powered assistant could learn my habits and suggest automations?
Automate This is an open-source AI assistant that:
✅ Observes & Learns user behavior (with consent).
✅ Executes Natural Language Commands (text/voice).
✅ Triggers Events (time, location, device state).
✅ Suggests Automations instead of forcing them.
✅ Prioritizes Security with local data processing.
✨ How It Works
🔍 1. Observation and Learning Phase
The app detects patterns in how I use my device and suggests automations.
Example:
If I open Email, Calendar, and Tasks every morning at 9 AM, it asks:
"Would you like me to open these apps automatically at 9:00 AM?"
🛠 2. Natural Language Commands
Users can ask the assistant to perform tasks.
Example:
"Move all PDFs from Downloads to Documents." ✅
"Send ‘I’ll be late’ to John on WhatsApp." ✅
⏳ 3. Event-Triggered Automations
Actions can be triggered by time, location, or device state.
Example:
At 6:00 PM, start a workout playlist and open a fitness app.
🤖 4. Pattern-Based Suggestions
If I frequently lower brightness & enable Do Not Disturb during online meetings, it suggests:
“Would you like me to automate this for future calls?”
🛠 Tech Stack
Language: Python / JavaScript
NLP Engine: spaCy, OpenAI Whisper, Hugging Face Transformers
Automation APIs: Apple Shortcuts, Android Intents, Windows Task Scheduler
Framework: Electron (desktop) / React Native (mobile)
🌍 Use Cases
Auto-sort PDFs in file management.
Send WhatsApp messages via voice commands.
Start Spotify & fitness app at workout time.
Reduce brightness & enable DND in video calls.
