Launched LacPointer: Desktop AI notch that actually executes workspace actions (not just another chatbot)

Hey IH! 👋

Just launched LacPointer on Product Hunt today after 19 days of building in public.

🤔 THE PROBLEM

I was losing 3+ hours daily switching between productivity apps. Opening 10+ tabs, losing focus, missing notifications. Pure chaos.

Existing AI assistants can't actually DO anything - they just answer questions. And desktop tools are either Mac-only or require memorizing shortcuts.

✨ WHAT I BUILT

LacPointer = Desktop AI notch that lives on your screen and executes workspace actions using natural language.

Type "Create task: Fix auth bug" → Done

Type "Meeting tomorrow 3pm" → Scheduled

Type "Show my open issues" → Listed

Currently integrates with the tools I use daily (Notion, Calendar, GitHub), with more coming based on demand.

💻 TECH STACK

- Electron for cross-platform desktop (Mac + Windows)

- Laravel API backend

- React frontend

- OpenAI GPT-4o-mini for natural language

- OAuth for integrations

🆓 BUSINESS MODEL

Free: 50 messages/day (generous, not stingy)

Pro: $9.99/mo unlimited

💭 WHY IT EXISTS

Built it for myself first. Turns out everyone has this tab-switching problem.

The notch UI keeps it always accessible but never intrusive - inspired by iPhone notch everyone's used to now.
