I had approached this via a completely different direction back during lockdown as well (haha on the top comment), and it was an extremely similar experience to what they described. It's a really fun side project but won't have many use-cases then the occasional amusement (which I personally really like, but learnt that things like that don't sell easily)

had been using GrapheneOS for a while now, feels goated and keeps things alive from back when rooting was so common in cyanogen days. we are at a stage where the big corps are too hard to push against :(

LLMs hallucinations on macro isn't about planning and not planning like sparin9 pointed out. It's like, an architectural problem which would be fun to fix using overseeing system?
