Hi everyone 👋
A few days ago Guillermo Rauch shared some ideas on X — one of them was about a keyboard autocomplete powered by LLMs, that works across different windows and apps.
That really got me thinking. I wanted to build something like that — but without needing a virtual keyboard.
So I spent a few days exploring, and I built a small prototype in rust using ollama to run the llm locally.
Here’s what it does:
- It works anywhere (browser, terminal, whatsapp…)
- It knows where your cursor is
- It can suggest text based on what you’re writing
- You can accept the suggestion by typing
- You can reject it with
Backspace - It remembers what you wrote before, even in other apps
It’s still an early prototype, but already working nicely.
Now I’m wondering, should I make it open source?
I’d love to hear your thoughts and ideas!
