Sorry when I said something like Windows Recall, I didn't mean Windows Recall but software with similar capabilities. I think in my mind I was imagining some sort of ongoing screen capture along with a meta prompt or prompts, and some sort of output.

The value the LLM adds is interpreting/processing data without having to tailor input streams. Imagine if formats change, fields get renamed, and so on. The maintenance would be a headache if this was done on a per-service level. I think the reduction in fidelity seems like a reasonable tradeoff, but that's for the user to decide of course along with local/cloud processing and proprietary/open source software.

Even things like invoices from the same service change format over time.
