Notes

• Microphone input is optional and uses SpeechRecognition if installed.
• Clipboard integration uses pyperclip if installed.
• Process monitoring uses psutil if installed.
• Terminal appearance depends on the font and emoji support of the terminal being used.

What changed in the assistant + interaction update

Assistant mode

• Added AssistantManager for Jarvis-like helper flows inside Nest UI.
• Added AssistantPanel widget for listening/status/intent previews.
• Added TranscriptPanel widget for live transcript history.
• Added default assistant intents for:
  • opening games/apps
  • switching tabs
  • changing themes
  • opening logs/help
• Added transcript memory, wake-word handling, and voice-reply toggles.
• Added assistant-friendly transcript logging such as:
  • คุณพูดว่า: เปิดเกม Roblox
  • กำลังเปิดเกม roblox

Voice capture fixes

• Improved microphone capture with provider detection.
• VoiceEngine now tries SpeechRecognition first and Windows native System.Speech as a fallback on Windows.
• Better typed fallback warnings when mic capture fails.
• Added provider/status tracking for debugging voice capture issues.

Click / mouse fixes

• Added best-effort clickable widget activation in terminals that support VT mouse reporting.
• Mouse support now enables extended SGR reporting and maps click rows back to widget cards.
• Improved Windows VT console setup when mouse mode is enabled.

New quick commands

• assistant opens the assistant bridge directly.
• A shortcut opens the assistant prompt.

New icons

• Added assistant/transcript/mic/speaker icons for richer assistant dashboards.

Assistant quick start

from nest_ui import App

app = App(theme='neon_night', icon_pack='emoji', mouse_support=True)
window = app.create_window('Nest Assistant', 'assistant-ready terminal ui')
assistant = window.enable_assistant(enabled=True, wake_word='nest', voice_reply_enabled=False, voice_profile='nova')

sec = window.create_tab('Assistant').create_section('Bridge')
sec.add_assistant_panel('Nest Assistant', manager=assistant)
sec.add_transcript_panel('Transcript', manager=assistant)

window.run()

Notes for mouse + voice

• Mouse click support is best on Windows Terminal, iTerm2, modern xterm-compatible terminals, and other VT-enabled terminals.
• Voice capture will use SpeechRecognition when installed, then fall back to Windows System.Speech on Windows.
• If microphone capture still fails, use the built-in typed fallback to verify assistant routing first.
