End goal?

What should really be the end-goal of this project?
I like using terminals and so do a lot of people. I sometimes envision a one big superapp powering your own workflow. I want an AI in my OS helping me everywhere i do anything. Customizable.

User 1: Researcher

I am usually connected to a cluster where i am running experiments. Along with that I am reading a paper while taking notes somewhere (or writing a paper on overleaf), and a chatgpt instance where i ask questions and doubts.
I am okay with a AI assistant that can read my entire screen and computer state. It knows the context of my paper. It knows what experiment i am running, and it knows im taking notes in latex. \
