I've successfully rebuilt Alfred exclusively using Python!

I am excited to announce the release of Alfred 2.0!
This version brings a host of new features, improvements, and bug fixes that completes the transition to a pure python application.
I've successfully rebuilt Alfred exclusively using Python. The transition to a Python-centric approach eliminated the need for the FastAPI backend, as we now interface directly with OpenAI's API. Additionally, the entire frontend stack comprising Electron, Vite, React, and the web trio of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS has been discarded, improving performance and easier developmental life cycle. The graphical user interface, along with the user experience and user interface design, has been re-envisioned using Python in conjunction with PyQt6.
This revision aims to clarify the transition to Python, the elimination of previous technologies, and the adoption of PyQt6 for the GUI aspects.
What's New
- Voice Transcription Integration: Users can now transcribe their voice directly within the app, thanks to the integration with OpenAI Whisper.
- Text-to-Speech Feature: Leveraging Eleven Labs' API, the app now converts ChatGPT responses into audible speech, providing a seamless conversational experience.
- Automatic Audio Playback: The transcribed text responses are now automatically played back through the system's default audio player for immediate auditory feedback.
Improvements
- Enhanced UI/UX: The record button has been stylishly redesigned for better visual appeal and user experience.
- API Integration Optimizations: Refactored the API call workflow to improve response times and reduce the likelihood of timeouts or errors.
- Conversation History: Improved the tracking of conversation history, ensuring a more coherent and contextual interaction with ChatGPT.
