# Pocket Assistant
## A personal assistant application with modular extentions and AI integration
### Overview
The Pocket Assistant is a personal assistant application that will provide a suite of tools and extentions to help users with their daily tasks. It is designed to be modular, with different extentions that can be added to the application to provide additional functionality as required. The application also has AI integration, allowing users to interact with the application using natural language.
The primary goals of Pocket Assistant are:
- **Simplify daily tasks**: Consolidate common productivity and organizational tools into one application
- **Personalization**: Allow users to customize their experience through modular extensions
- **Privacy-focused**: Keep user data local and secure by default, with optional cloud features
- **AI-enhanced productivity**: Leverage artificial intelligence to augment user capabilities
- **Cross-platform accessibility**: Provide a consistent experience across different devices and operating systems
This document will focus on a MVP (Minimum Viable Product) that will provide the core functionality of the application.
### Architecture
The Pocket Assistant will follow a modular architecture to support its extensibility goals:
- **Core Application**: Central system that manages extensions and provides common services
- **Extension API**: Well-documented API for third-party extension development
- **Data Layer**: Local database with optional cloud synchronization
- **Service Layer**: Handles communication between components and external services
- **UI Layer**: Web-based interface that adapts to different extensions
For the technical stack:
- **Backend**: Node.js or Python FastAPI for the service layer with REST/GraphQL endpoints
- **Frontend**: React or Vue.js for the web interface with responsive design
- **Database**: SQLite for local storage with option to sync to cloud database (PostgreSQL)
- **Extension Framework**: Standardized API for extensions to integrate with the core application
### Platform
For initial development, the application will be built for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Android and iOS support will be added later.
**Desktop Implementations:**
- **Windows**: Compatible with Windows 10 and newer, utilizing system notifications and features
- **macOS**: Native integration with macOS notifications and services where appropriate
- **Linux**: Support for major distributions (Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian), with consideration for different desktop environments
**Cross-platform Strategy:**
- Web technologies (Electron) for consistent UI across platforms
- Platform-specific adapters for native OS integration
- Shared core logic and data models
- Responsive design to accommodate different screen sizes and resolutions
**Future Mobile Support:**
- Native applications for Android and iOS
- Synchronized data and settings with desktop versions
- Mobile-optimized UI with touch-first interaction design
- Integration with mobile-specific features (location services, notifications, etc.)
