I Built an AI-Powered PC Monitor in Python. 28 Strangers Shaped Its Brain. PC Workman 1.7.6

A solo developer spent 10 months building PC Workman 1.7.6, a Python-based AI PC monitoring app.

The app uses a local AI assistant with Ollama, rule-based intent parsing, and bilingual Polish-English responses.

A routing bug was traced to the Polish letter “ł,” which standard ASCII folding did not normalize correctly.

The project highlights privacy-first, local AI software design and the practical challenges of indie development.
