A little companion

So I remember back in like the old days of windows where there was this little thing called clippy , I was wondering, why don’t we do something but for the equivalent of haiku like a companion that’s helpful that will help you write code if you’re trying to learn C++ or will automatically debug the system or if the system is experiencing failures will rollback the system data to a point where it wasn’t glitching out so badly basically like a helpful buddy that just it would be like a little helper that would help you with things and it would just be waiting on the screen or you could activate it

All it needs is somebody to write it, Philip.

Could that somebody be you?

I mean, I could try but I think I should leave this up to professionals cause I’m not the best with code. I’m more of a hardware specialist.

We have Tipster. AFAIK it currently serves random tips rather than being context-aware, but it’s a starting point.

But Clippy is one of the most hated things in computing history. It was intrusive, it popped up when you were doing fine. Twenty years later you still see memes like this.

So if you want to work on this, think deeply about UI/UX first.
