TL;DR: I built Yaldabaoth — a desktop AI assistant that doesn't just answer questions. It reads your screen, runs PowerShell commands, clicks buttons, types text, and automates your entire workflow. No cloud dependency. No API calls for automation. Just Python, Rust, and raw OS control.

The Problem

In 2025, "AI assistants" meant one of two things:

Chatbots — A text box where you type and an LLM talks back

API wrappers — Tools that chain API calls together but have zero ability to touch the actual operating system
