For about a month my workflow has been the same broken loop:

1. I'm in Excel/Outlook/SSMS/whatever, working on something.

2. I hit a wall — wrong SQL syntax, an Excel formula I forgot, a customer email I need to summarize.

3. Screenshot the relevant area.

4. Alt+Tab to ChatGPT.

5. Paste the screenshot, write a paragraph explaining context ("the sheet is about.. and formula needs to…").

6. Wait for the answer.

7. Copy it back, paste it into the right place.

8. Repeat. 30+ times a day. Every day.



The AI response itself is usually fast. The friction is everything around it. After enough months of this I realized the missing piece isn't a smarter chatbot — it's an AI that already sees what I'm looking at, so I don't have to explain.

So I started building one on nights and weekends. It's called Mudrik (Arabic for "aware"). Press Alt+Space anywhere in Windows and a small panel slides in, already aware of the active window — every visible button, field, label, value. You ask in the FEWEST possible words ("fix this", "draft a polite reply", "what does this toggle do?") and it answers, drafts, or even types/pastes/clicks for you.

A few honest caveats:

- It's in public preview. Rough edges exist.

- It reads UI structure through Windows accessibility (the same layer screen readers use), not screenshots — so it's privacy-friendlier than vision-based tools.

- Bring your own LLM — Claude, GPT, Gemini, local Ollama, etc. Just paste a key in settings, or use the free tier on OpenCode.

- Sandboxed: no shell access, no filesystem writes, no network calls beyond the LLM you choose.

- Windows only for now.

The thing I didn't expect is that I now use AI for the small questions I previously skipped — because the friction is gone. That alone has changed how I work more than any model upgrade.

Hones feedback welcome — especially "this would be useful if it did X." Already a list of features I want to add but always interested in what people would actually use.
