AI Integration

Description of the new feature / enhancement

It may be possible to train an AI with the history of PRs at the winget-pkgs repository to enlighten wingetcreate to do a better job when creating manifests.

I could also potentially see a scenario where a user reports a new version being available and one of the bots could assist with creating the PR for the new version.

Thanks to @Trenly for suggesting this!

I could also see an AI assisting with metadata completion / translation for when a Locale manifest is missing data present in the DefaultLocale manifest.

Or possibly suggesting to backfill metadata like PackageUrl when it is present in a newer version but absent in older versions.

Or forward-filling when perhaps an installer architecture is missing from newer manifests, or a release notes url, etc

I agree 100%. No one person can author the drivers of tens of thousands of drivers of devices they don’t even have, and an unknown but extremely large amount of other Windows software. It’s a plain tedious task sometimes. Drivers are plain infamous for being hard to find.

We should use AI to author complete manifests of basically every GitHub repository in existence, as well as author the manifest of various large hardware manufacturers.

Bots can also fill out the additional documentation fields that are rarely filled out by authors.

A bot can also get access to a Windows environment and find the correct install flags for the specific software.
