If I want to know... what Python library I looked at, I have browser history; what I did in code, I have Git; who I spoke with, chat apps have searchable history; what commands I ran; I have terminal history;

We have been solving the history problem with computing for decades now. My limited, imperfect human memory is a feature, not a bug. We get very good at the things we do regularly.

App security issues aside, my opinion of a more useful product would be about how can you make the person more efficient, not by doing something for them, but by informing them of how they can grow.

For example: "I noticed you... write many python command line apps; have you tried the python Fire library?"; you are struggling with some python basics; would you like me to schedule some time to practice Python with some of the libraries you use most?"; you do this task regularly; I think you can automate that like this.."
