I coded the skeleton and the main loop for the assistant. The reason to choose a CLI assistant over a voice or AI assistant is due to my hardware limitations. I plan to include features like opening apps, running Python scripts, managing files, taking control of the OS (I have Lubuntu), monitoring features, and later understanding human language.
