Like mentioned the other day, have been/was playing around with a very minor form of experimental interactive personal assistant/bit of pet software here, and have pretty much worked out all of the actual interface elements I would need/want to work with/implement now, in terms of programming required to actually implement them. Anyway, was thus wondering/would like suggestions regarding what actual features anyone thinks would be cool/of interest/wanted, or would be necessary to make this worth even trying out, etc.? In other words, in terms of personal assistant functionality, it should be easy enough for me to, at the very least implement forms of calendar entries/appointment reminders, note taking making use of different categories/types, like diary entries, shopping lists, etc., contact phonebooks/address books, etc. And, would, aside from pretty much keeping the interface standard/similar to just using normal windows software interface elements, then also offer things like letting you get it to also prompt/read things to you using the voices of your screen reader software, SAPI, etc., but, main thing is since I would be developing it, and thus also testing it, I am pretty sure I would keep the whole interface pretty much accessible - how else would I be able to test it myself...<smile> Anyway, enough waffling/babbling, but, would just like suggestions/requirements relating to what sort of personal assistant elements you'd want me to look into including in something like this, and should I also play around with the actual artificial intelligence/personality aspects, relating to interaction therewith?
