This is a custom Microsoft Agent software. You can select an Agent Character here or use Pikachu, which is included. You'll have to update the path to align with your own directory.
Currently, MyBuddy can perform the following services:
- Notify you of e-mails
- Send e-mails (Must set up UserSecrets file, with your username and password, and update host servers to your e-mail provider's)
- Speak whatever you type for him
- Open some programs within the interface window
Things I'm planning to add (accepting suggestions):
- Further e-mail integration
- Interact with news feeds (RSS feed or tweets)
- Search capabilities, answer questions (similar to Google assistant or Alexa)
- Play media (spotify, local files, etc.)
- Timer/Reminders
- Edit Windows Settings
- Adding a custom Bobby Hill Agent Character (will include deep learning to comment on things on screen and talk with and hopefully a custom text to speech voice)
This has been such a frustrating project, but I'm learning a lot and it's fun to work on making the original digital assistant much more helpful. I grew up on Windows 95, 98, 2000, so I'm a big fan of the classic Windows tools and styles.
