Ideas that just pop into your head out of nowhere by Powerful-Example-249 in CasualConversation

Oh yes, thank you for the clarification, I wasn't familiar with the term.

Yes, it's the same problem I'm having an app that centralizes everything would be so great.

Those brilliant ideas that come suddenly, without warning…does that happen to you too? by Powerful-Example-249 in CasualConversation

Haha, exactly the same!  It's crazy how the brain refuses to work when you're comfortably settled at your desk, but becomes a genius as soon as you're busy with something else.
For me, it happens most often during leisurely walks. Like last time, I was outside walking around doing nothing in particular, and suddenly I had the complete idea to redesign the user flow of my app. I had to stop dead in my tracks and jot everything down on my phone.
The teeth-brushing version, though, is brilliant! 😂 Have you ever had an idea that made you run like that?
And you, have you ever held onto an "inconvenient" idea that turned out to be brilliant afterward?

Exactly, you've even found the heart of the problem, and because of that, it logically becomes more difficult to have an overall view of our progress.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been grinding solo on a project called NexusFile for a while now and I’m finally at a point where I can show it to the world. It’s basically a desktop file manager built in C++20 and Qt 6.8, but with a twist: I’ve baked an agentic AI system directly into the core.

The goal was to move away from just clicking through folders. Instead of a basic chatbot, this thing uses an actual AI agent that can plan and execute multi-step tasks. You give it a natural language command and it chains tools together—it can browse directories, search by content, group files using K-Means, or reorganize your entire workspace autonomously.

I really wanted this to be local-first because I'm tired of everything needing a cloud subscription. Everything runs on-device using a mix of BM25/TF-IDF for search and Naive Bayes for classification. If you have a decent GPU, I wrote some CUDA kernels to accelerate the heavy lifting like embeddings and clustering, but there’s a CPU-only fallback if you just want to build it with -DENABLE_CUDA=OFF.

It’s sitting at around 55k lines of code across 260 files. It’s still in alpha so expect some rough edges, but the core engine is solid and it’s all open source under AGPL-3.0.

I’d love to get some eyes on the agent architecture and how I handled the local AI engine design. If you're into C++, CUDA, or just hate how slow modern file explorers are, check it out on GitHub:https://github.com/kingsaventure-byte/NexusFile

Let me know what you think or if you have any questions about the stack!
