EyesAndEars is a self-contained Windows application designed to streamline issue-solving by capturing screenshots, sending them to Gemini for analysis, and typing out the generated responses on demand. This tool functions as an "on-demand Copilot," providing immediate assistance for screen-related issues with minimal disruption.

Key Features:

Hotkey Integration: Utilizes Numpad 1 to capture the current screen, pause, or resume operations.
Secure API Management: Stores Gemini API keys securely using DPAPI encryption on Windows and app passwords via salted PBKDF2-SHA256 hashing.
Context Management: Clears chat context with a single keystroke (Numpad 2) for privacy and efficiency.
Winget Installation: Can be installed and managed via winget, ensuring seamless updates and clean uninstallation.

Audience & Benefit: Ideal for developers and IT professionals who require quick, hands-free solutions without interrupting their workflow. Users can save time by integrating AI-driven assistance directly into their tasks, eliminating the need to switch contexts or manually input queries.

EyesAndEars offers a straightforward solution for automating problem-solving, enhancing productivity through efficient AI integration.
