🚀 Key Features

🎙️ 1. Universal AI Voice Dictation & Intelligence

• Works Everywhere You Type: Pastes AI-cleaned text directly into Cursor IDE, Notion, Gmail, Google Docs, WhatsApp, Slack, and Terminals without plugins or browser extensions.
• Real-Time AI Polish: Automatically strips filler words ("um", "uh", pauses, false starts) and formats punctuation and capitalization.
• Backtrack & Intent Parsing: Resolves mid-sentence mind-changes ("Let's meet at 2... actually scratch that, 3 PM" ──► "Let's meet at 3 PM").
• Developer Syntax Awareness: Spoken casing (camelCase, snake_case, kebab-case, PascalCase), CLI commands (git commit -m "..."), and Cursor @file tags (@index.jsx).
• Personal Dictionary & Voice Shortcuts: Store custom terms/jargon (dictionary.json) and voice snippets ("my link" ──► https://calendly.com/...).
• Global Hotkeys: Ctrl + Alt + D or Alt + D.

📅 2. 1-Tab Outlook Meeting Booking & Screen Vision

• Active Chat Understanding: Captures WeChat (or any messaging app) chat screenshots and uses Gemini Multimodal Vision API to extract country trainer names, topics, and proposed dates/times.
• Automated Outlook Window Creation: Launches and pre-fills an Outlook Appointment/Meeting window via native Windows COM automation.
• Global Hotkeys: Ctrl + Alt + M or F9.

🔔 3. 15m / 5m Advance Desktop Notifications

• Smart Upcoming Scheduler: Monitors tasks and scheduled meetings to fire native Windows desktop alerts at 15 minutes before, 5 minutes before, and at start/due time.
• Dashboard Alerts Panel: Real-time countdown list (In 12 mins, DUE NOW) for all upcoming items.

🎙️ 4. Local Meeting Capture (Listen-Only, No Bot)

• Captures Windows system loopback audio (Zoom, Teams, VooV, Meet) locally. No bot ever joins call, microphone stays off.
• Real-time Gemini transcription + automatic Markdown summaries & actionable task suggestions (added only upon user approval).

📊 5. Background Work Tracking & Reliability

• Persistent native window watcher (ActiveWindow.exe --watch) tracks foreground applications once per second into local daily CSV logs.
• Watchdog auto-respawn, idle/lock/sleep awareness, keep-awake OS power blocker, and screen-share invisibility protection.
