AI Search #34024

Open Broductivity opened 1 month ago

Broductivity commented 1 month ago

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Enable users to search with AI using PowerToys Run.

Scenario when this would be used?

This feature would make AI queries fast and easy since they can be accessed through the PowerToys Run function. PowerToys users always appreciate speed for things they frequently do.

Supporting information

It takes time to open a web browser, find an AI assistant, and then type your query. PowerToys Run should incorporate this feature.

So you're asking for something like Copilot but built into PT Run? /needinfo

Broductivity commented 1 month ago

@crutkas Yep. Don't you think it would be handy?

There's a plugin to parse prompts from pt run to ChatGPT.

Broductivity commented 1 month ago

@akamienski Yeah, but it only opens in Edge, and I use Arc. It would also be nice to not have to compile the plugin, and finally, I don't use ChatGPT, so an integration with Gemini would be handy.

@TrumpPresident45 You can download compiled version and copy to Plugins folder, it's availabe in Releases page. It runs browser that is set to be default browser, just tested it and it works. After you change default app, you just need to restart PowerToys and plugin will run chatgpt in default browser. But sure, support for other AIs would be nice as well.

I guess it could be possible to just download that plugin source code and change value for url to go to Gemini web page, and then compile it to be a seperate plugin, but that would require a bit of programming knowledge, as search url is not easy to figure out.
