MouseTron
Inspiration
Everyone encounters a lot of mundane tasks daily on their devices that can be automated. It doesn't matter what job we have or for what purpose we use our devices we still find some tasks repetitive. With the current improvements in AI we believe all tasks can be automated. And what's better than delegating a boring action to an AI agent with just one click?
What it does
MouseTron is your personal assistant for any task you can think of. When faced with a task you can easily select it and give it to MouseTron to run it. It doesn't matter if it's making a meeting and adding it to the calendar, doing some search on the internet, making docs and sharing them, or even combine all of them. MouseTron plans smartly and efficiently to complete the tasks you give it.
How we built it
MouseTron has 3 main parts. The core which is an intelligent agent equipped with any MCP you want (8000+) so basically you can automate any task. The agent plans the steps based on the provided tools revises the plan until it can actually achieve the task with efficient steps. The next part is the algorithm part which remembers and ranks the favorite user actions based on criteria like how fresh the workflow is or ranking which actions come mostly before or after one another. If the user wants to repeat similar actions they can run the workflow with some customization. Lastly the bridge between the hardware and the software which is our Logitech plugin which closes the gap between all parts using APIs and making a customizable and cozy interface for the user to setup how they want to activate MouseTron.
Challenges we ran into
This project was packed with challenges. Firstly getting our head around the plugin learning how to write, debug and use the cool features. Secondly making the agent and tuning it to the MCPs having enough reasoning and revision for it to make a correct collection of steps. And lastly trying to come up with ideas of how can we automate the user experience by tracking what tools they mostly use and how they're interconnected. We explored many ideas for all these fields to be able to optimize this project. While it is in the early stages we believe many future improvements can be made to get the best user experience.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Honestly being able to automate tasks which are mostly just time consuming instead of being actually useful is pretty important to us. Having 36 hours to build something this intelligent and autonomous was pretty cool for us. Something that can already be run on a lot of tasks!
What we learned
For the technical side being exposed to a lot of new technologies (such as combining hardware comfort with achieving tasks) in a short time broadened our horizons, making us to come up with many ideas, discuss and choose from them. Another main point was that facing a challenge at this size with this many parts made us to work on our collaborative and team skills actually delegating tasks and doing much more than what we thought we could.
What's next for MouseTron
We believe MouseTron can be a personalized assistant for anyone. Adapting to their needs, optimizing the way to do the tasks, improving the quality of the result, and including more patterns of user behavior are the things that can be improved to make a product for everyone to finally be free of boredom.
