I'm using Bazzite with KDE Plasma mainly for gaming, but now I'm on the hunt for an AI assistant app. I'd like it to be triggered with a keyboard shortcut and it doesn't need to be local; an internet-based solution is totally fine. Any recommendations?

I heard that Makulu Linux comes with an integrated AI. Honestly, I wasn't super impressed—the video and image generator features didn't do much for me. I thought it might help with diagnosing issues or optimizing performance, but it fell short. If you’re looking for something that you can truly rely on, there may not be many free options out there right now.
Have you thought about what you really need from an AI? If you're looking for something that can connect via an API, you'll need to check how different LLMs work. They've got varying API setups, so some basic searching on how to send and receive calls might help. Python is often the go-to for handling that kind of stuff. I created an AI assistant bot before, but it runs locally. If you're interested in my source code, just let me know!
I'd definitely like to see the source if you could share it!
Yeah, I totally get that disappointment. It seems like there’s a gap in the market for powerful free AI tools.
