alt Hacker NewsI had a similar idea, but for photo manipulation.
I like photography, but I'm relatively poor on the photo editing. I was hoping to build an MCP server around Gimp/Darktable/RawTherapee. The idea would be that the user would describe changes he wanted to see in the image (brighten up the shirt), and the LLM would pick appropriate tools to select the region and make the edit.
At the time I looked into it, it didn't seem that Darktable/RawTherapee provided APIs to hook into. Then life got busy.
Yup, that sounds about like the same underlying idea.
I think this is much much more interesting compared to generative ai for images/photos/music/... I'm hoping more and more people will come up with alternatives to traditional software where an agent can actually really help you out, but where you stay in control
