Deemwar Monads & Abstractions

Spot

Spot looks and behaves like macOS Spotlight: press a hotkey, a panel opens, and you type what you mean. When Spot is sure, it runs the command itself. Everything else goes to your own AI, and you watch each step in the panel. This page is a build-in-public log: what works today, what is still broken, and what comes next.

What works today

Spot reads what you typed and decides. A sure request runs as a command with no AI call. Anything else goes to Claude or Codex.

One panel, two paths: a command when Spot is sure, your AI otherwise.

When Spot is sure

Spot runs the command itself. A small offline model picks the command. “play rajini jailer 2 song and increase volume” starts the YouTube video and raises the volume in about 1 s. “volume 30” and “mute” work the same way.

When it is not

Spot hands the request to Claude or Codex, using the login you already have. Spot keeps the AI warm, so it starts at once. The AI works in a visible loop, and each step appears as a row in the panel.

“check my battery, and if it is below 50 lower the volume to 20.” The AI reads the battery: 100%.
2
Act
Spot's daemon
The tools run on your machine. Here the battery is above 50, so the AI leaves the volume alone.

It says what it did and why. The whole request took about 5 s.

Still broken

Area	Today	Fixing next
Command pick	Right first about 72% of the time, 88% in the top 3, on held-out real requests	Spot runs a command itself only when sure; more commands it runs itself
Tanglish	Still weak	Better Tanglish
Volume	Mac only for now	Volume on Windows and Linux
Binaries	Not code-signed yet	Signed builds

Fixing next

Better Tanglish.
Volume control on Windows and Linux.
Code-signed builds.
More commands Spot runs itself: email, timer, open app.
