Show Notes
In this episode of My Weird Prompts, we explore a fascinating technical challenge: creating a local, low-latency AI "buffer" that sits between your keyboard and your screen. As professional standards clash with the speed of modern thought, many users find themselves struggling to maintain formal formatting while typing at high speeds. We dive into the hardware and software requirements for real-time text correction, the privacy implications of local processing, and the rise of Small Language Models (SLMs) that make "invisible" editing possible without the lag.
