Lumina is an AI-powered, platform-independent search and command bar designed to serve as a central hub for interacting with your computer. It enhances productivity by streamlining tasks like web searches, file and app launching, and document summarization—all through a simple, intuitive interface. Unlike existing tools like Apple’s Spotlight or Alfred, Lumina goes further with advanced AI-driven capabilities such as natural language command processing, screen context awareness, and intelligent automation.
Key Features:
• Natural Language Command Processing: Understands commands like “search that”, automatically opening your default browser with the relevant search query.
• App & File Launcher: Quickly find and launch applications or files without manual searching.
• Advanced Document Handling: Extracts key information or generates summaries from PDFs.
• Screen Context Awareness (Optional): Uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to analyze visible content on your screen, providing relevant suggestions or actions.
• Cross-Platform Support: Works consistently across Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Why Lumina?
Modern users juggle multiple tools to perform everyday tasks—searching files, launching apps, handling documents, and navigating the system. Lumina consolidates these actions into a single, seamless interface, reducing friction and enhancing efficiency. With AI-driven automation, it eliminates repetitive steps, making interactions with your computer faster and more intuitive.
Technical Overview:
• Lightweight UI: A floating search bar that can be triggered via a keyboard shortcut. Built using Electron/Tauri (for web-based UI) or Qt (for a native experience).
• NLP-powered Command Parsing: Uses regex for basic commands and spaCy/NLTK for advanced natural language processing.
• Action Handlers: Supports web search, application/file launching, and PDF summarization (using PyPDF2 or pdfminer).
• Optional OCR Module: Uses Tesseract to extract text from screen captures, enabling context-aware suggestions.
Who is it for?
Lumina is designed for anyone looking to optimize their digital workflow—whether you’re a developer, researcher, writer, or professional seeking a smarter, more efficient way to interact with your system.
