I'll give it a shot. For me it's (promise) is about removing friction. Using the Unix philosophy of small tools, you can send text, voice, image, video to an LLM and (the magic I think) it maintains context over time. So memory is the big part of this.
The next part that makes this compelling is the integration. Mind you, scary stuff, prompt injection, rogue commands, but (BIG BUT) once we figure this out it will provide real value.
Read email, add reminder to register dog with the township, or get an updated referral from your doctor for a therapist. All things that would normally fall through the cracks are organized and presented. I think about all the great projects we see on here, like https://unmute.sh/ and love the idea of having llms get closer to how we interact naturally. I think this gets us closer to that.
Once we've solved social engineering scams, we can iterate 10x as hard and solve LLM prompt injection. /s
It's like having 100 "naive/gullible people" who are good at some math/english but don't understand social context, all with your data available to anyone who requests it in the right way..
Your welcome! Glad you appreciated it man. I think Unmute was really cool and is open source but its deployment is a little on the more complex side of things.
One trick, even though it doesn't "lock it down" the same way, is to use a minimalist launcher. Check out OLauncher. It is a text-based launcher, it only has room for a few apps on the homepage, and it discourages fiddling with your phone.
https://github.com/tstromberg/quietude is how I manage my Pixel phone as well as my kids; I begin with “quietude.sh disable all”, but usually re-enable maps.
It takes a similar approach to the OP - changing restrictions requires a USB cable and a computer.
andoff[1] works well. I use it to lock down DNS settings to nextdns to block all the sites I want.
Then I use lockmeout[2] to lock opening andoff to change the settings.
Also there is limitphone[3], but it has less settings and is easier to uninstall than andoff, but works via the same mechanism.
