Desktop Assistant

Desktop Assistant is a command-line Python-based desktop assistant. It provides various functionalities to assist you with tasks on your computer.

Features

Music Player

You can play music by specifying the path to a directory containing MP3 files. Supported music commands include:

• play music
• play some music
• play a song

The assistant will play a random song from the specified folder.

Website Launcher

You can open websites using specific commands. Currently, only websites listed in the sites_list dictionary can be opened. To launch a site, use commands like:

• Open youtube
• Open github

You can customize the list of supported websites by editing the sites_list dictionary in the code.

Reminders

Set reminders with ease. Say or type "Set reminder" or "Set a reminder," and a window will prompt you to specify the reminder message and the number of minutes from now when the reminder should trigger. Be sure to enter a numeric value for the time. The reminder window's "Set" button should close the window, but manual closure may be required.

App Launcher

Launch applications using simple commands. Supported applications include:

• Calculator
• Mail
• Windows Photo Viewer

You can add more applications by modifying the applicationlauncher function in the code.Head over to the applicationlauncher function, add an elif statement, put the command of your choice, and specify the path of the application within os.startfile(). This should allow you to open ypur custom apps through voice or text input.

Conversational AI

Engage in natural language conversations and generate text, stories, or code using the Palm API. To use this feature, you'll need a valid API key. Without an API key you can still access the other features.

Further Plans

• Develop a graphical user interface (UI) for a more user-friendly interaction.
• Optimize the website launching feature to support opening any website by command.
• Add the ability to play specific songs by their names.
• Separate the main program into different codes. For example one file solely for music, one for reminder, and call them via the main program.
• Enhance command flexibility and usability.

Requirements

• Python
• Necessary Python libraries (e.g., pyttsx3, requests)
• Palm API key (for conversational AI)
