OpenAI-Enhanced Personal Desktop Assistant: A Revolution in Human-Computer Interaction

The creation of a natural conversation between humans and machines is the primary objective of Artificial Intelligence (AI). One of the greatest advancements in AI that has the potential to significantly alter people's way of life are voice assistants. We know that the role of AI based voice assistants is to recognize the input human voice and respond to the given input via integrated voices. A lot of IT based organizations have been using dialogue systems technology to create various types of Virtual Personal Assistants (VPAs) based on their application requirements and areas for increasing interaction between human and a machine, for example, Apple's Siri, Microsoft's Cortana, Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. By early 2023, Amazon Alexa was used daily by approximately 70% of users, yielding satisfaction levels surpassing 70%. Google Assistant boasted a global user base of 500 million per month, enjoying satisfaction rates over 80%. Apple Siri similarly engaged around 500 million users monthly, maintaining a satisfaction rate of about 78%. Microsoft Cortana had limited usage data but attained satisfaction rates around 60-65%. Roughly 60-70% of users across platforms expressed worries regarding data privacy and security when utilizing these desktop assistants. So, the main objective of our work is to create a personalized desktop assistant embedded with the OpenAI technology and improvement in security. Like the Microsoft's Cortana (which was discontinued by Microsoft), we aim to design a more efficient and personal desktop assistant, enhanced with OpenAI solely for Windows using Python, which can be accessed using any of the Windows Explorer like Windows 7,8,9,10,11. Here we use Python as the major programming language as it has a lot of inbuilt libraries that could make the task even easier. The way of developing a personal desktop assistant without requiring cloud services is discussed in this paper, which will also allow the future extension of such devices.
