Ideas & Future Enhancements

Vision: Transform Aurus into the ultimate voice-first productivity companion

🚀 High Priority Ideas

1. Multi-Modal Agent Pipeline

Chain agents together for complex workflows

flowchart LR
    V[Voice Input] --> T[Transcript]
    T --> BD[Brain Dump]
    BD --> |Tasks| AI[Action Items]
    BD --> |Ideas| MM[Mental Mirror]
    AI --> CAL[Calendar Integration]
    MM --> EMAIL[Email to Self]
Loading

Use Case: Record a brain dump, automatically extract tasks to calendar, send reflections as email.

2. Voice Commands & Hotwords

Hands-free agent activation

"Hey Aurus, shift this to professional"
"Aurus, translate to German"
"Create action items"

Implementation:

  • Local hotword detection (Porcupine/Snowboy)
  • Command parsing with lightweight NLU
  • No cloud dependency for activation

3. Context-Aware Meeting Assistant

Integrate with calendar and participants

sequenceDiagram
    participant C as Calendar
    participant A as Aurus
    participant AI as AI Agent

    C->>A: Meeting starting: "Sprint Planning"
    C->>A: Participants: John, Sarah, Mike
    A->>AI: Context: Sprint planning with team
    Note over A: Record meeting
    A->>AI: Extract action items with assignees
    AI->>A: "John: Review PR #142 by Friday"
    A->>C: Create calendar reminders
Loading

Features:

  • Auto-detect meeting context from calendar
  • Pre-populate participant names for assignment
  • Post-meeting summary email to attendees

4. Local LLM Support

Privacy-first AI processing

Model Use Case Size Speed
Llama 3.2 3B Action Items 2GB Fast
Mistral 7B Tone Shifting 4GB Medium
Phi-3 Mini Quick Tasks 1.5GB Fastest

Benefits:

  • Zero cloud dependency
  • HIPAA/GDPR compliance
  • Works offline
  • No API costs

Implementation: Integrate llama.cpp or candle for Rust-native inference.
