A better experience

Today, I finally released the new 0.4 version, which brings a lot of minor changes and improvements. But I would like to use this time to explain a bit about why I'm building Luuma and my perspective on its necessity.
The current development of AI agents and models is rapid, and they grow more competent and intelligent day by day. The pace of new features and capabilities is very impressive, and I'm all for the acceleration in development. I hope we see a day in the near future when these AI models can perform incredible tasks on their own. But for now, my impression is that they lose focus on what they should accomplish now - to help people achieve more with less time and fewer resources needed. And here's where I see the disconnect from the tech people, who are more focused on creating features that make a nice demo and work well for the first couple of uses. However, most people don't want to automate their life, work, or hobbies. And for these people, I'm building Luuma.
Luuma is not the AI agent with the most features or capabilities. Not even close, but that's by design. I focus on making Luuma the most useful agent that helps the user in the least intrusive way. In the first couple of versions, Luuma will evolve into the perfect little helper chat app that sits neatly at the edge of your screen and is there for you when you need it - a quick chat to get feedback on an idea or some improved wording. Right now, I use Luuma to help me write this post. Some grammar improvements, some better wording, and feedback on the structure. It does this while occupying not even 10% of my screen. I can chat with it without opening a website and then needing to switch between this document and the chat. My document is always visible, and I can fully focus on it with the occasional quick chat.
More features will be added when they prove themselves in other agents. Luuma does not need to be the first one with newly developed additions; it needs to be the best experience and least distracting helper. Since Luuma is still in development and in alpha testing, any feedback or ideas for improvement are welcomed.
