Production-ready desktop productivity assistant that detects backend deployment events and intelligently redirects developers to productive alternative tasks during deployment wait periods. Built with enterprise-grade architecture featuring LangGraph AI agents, WebSocket communication, and sophisticated task selection.
Key Innovation: While local deployment commands complete quickly (30 seconds), cloud propagation takes 10-30 minutes. DeployBot fills this productivity gap with AI-powered task suggestions tailored to the waiting period.
- Detects Deployments: Monitors when you run deployment commands (
firebase deploy,vercel --prod, etc.) - Starts Timer: Begins tracking your deployment wait time (default 30 minutes)
- Suggests Tasks: After a grace period, intelligently suggests alternative tasks from your TODO.md
- Redirects Focus: Opens the appropriate app (Bear, Figma, VSCode) for the suggested task
- Logs Activity: Tracks all deployments, task selections, and productivity sessions
- 🎯 AI-Powered Task Selection: OpenAI GPT integration with intelligent fallback heuristics
- 🔍 Smart Deploy Detection: Project-aware wrapper system with automatic log detection
- 📊 Enterprise WebSocket Architecture: Real-time bidirectional communication with automatic reconnection
- 📁 Advanced Project Management: Multi-project support with custom directories anywhere on filesystem
- ⏱️ Sophisticated Timer System: Background timer management with WebSocket integration
- 🔔 Custom Notification System: macOS-style floating notifications with rich interactions
- 📝 Comprehensive Activity Logging: Structured logging with full context at every level
- 🎨 Production-Ready UI: Modern React components with Tailwind CSS and responsive design
- 🔧 Deploy Wrapper Integration: Zero-impact command pass-through with intelligent project detection
- 🚀 Professional Build System: Complete cross-platform distribution with DMG/ZIP packaging
- Project Selector (570 lines): Full CRUD operations with custom directory support and validation
- Task List (418 lines): Real TODO.md parsing with AI suggestions and app redirection
- Deploy Status: Real-time monitoring with sophisticated timer display and WebSocket updates
- Activity Log: Live streaming of deployments, task selections, and productivity sessions
- Custom Notifications: Floating windows with blur effects, action buttons, and smart positioning
- Python Testing: Comprehensive backend connectivity verification and debugging tools
- Process Manager (749 lines): Enterprise-grade WebSocket client with health monitoring
