- Open relevant System Settings panels automatically based on findings
π¨ GUI-First Experience
For users who prefer visual interfaces, the agent can:
- π Open Activity Monitor automatically when showing system stats
- βοΈ Navigate System Settings to relevant panels (Battery, Storage, Privacy)
- π Open Finder to specific folders (Caches, Downloads, Large files)
- π Generate visual reports with charts and graphs (HTML format)
- π― Highlight issues in GUI apps with clear indicators
- π Show step-by-step with screenshots or GUI navigation
Example GUI Workflow:
- User: "My Mac is slow"
- Agent opens Activity Monitor β highlights CPU/Memory hogs
- Agent opens System Settings β shows relevant optimization settings
- Agent provides visual summary with emoji status indicators
Intelligent Automation
The agent can:
- β
Automatically clean safe caches and temp files (with user confirmation)
- β
