Background Vision Agent (Windows)

• One-command setup/run: powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\run.ps1
• Requires Python 3.9+. Configure your API key in bg_agent/config.py or via the OPENAI_API_KEY env var.
• Runs hidden (uses pythonw.exe) and listens for global hotkeys.

Hotkeys

• Alt+Shift+1 — Capture active window (added to input buffer)
• Alt+Shift+2 — Send payload (buffered images + prompt) to OpenAI; save response
• Alt+Shift+3 — Action 3 (depends on mode)
  • Mode 1: Type response char-by-char into current input field
  • Mode 2: Clipboard mode: primes clipboard with first char; every Ctrl+V advances to next char
• Alt+Shift+4 — Reset program state (clears buffers and captured files)
• Alt+Shift+5 — Quit permanently (press 3x within 2 seconds); also deletes app data directory
• Alt+Shift+6 — Switch Action 3 mode (toggle between Mode 1 and Mode 2)

Customize

• Edit defaults in bg_agent/config.py:
  • model, prompt, typing speed
  • endpoint_base (e.g., https://api.openai.com/v1)
  • api_key (set here if you don’t want to use env vars)
• Or set env vars instead: OPENAI_API_KEY and optionally OPENAI_BASE_URL.
• App data directory (captures, response, logs): %LOCALAPPDATA%\BgVisionAgent.

Notes

• Windows is supported now; code is structured to later add macOS/Linux window capture backends.
• No admin privileges are required. If a hotkey conflicts with another app, change it in bg_agent/config.py.
• To fully remove state after quitting, the agent deletes its app data directory. Source files and the virtual env remain unless manually removed.

Shortest Pull-and-Run

• Host the provided bootstrap.ps1 (repo root) as raw text, then: iwr -useb https://your.domain/path/bootstrap.ps1 | iex

• Optional one-liner with API key for this run only: powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "$env:OPENAI_API_KEY='sk-...'; iwr -useb https://your.domain/path/bootstrap.ps1 | iex"

• Before hosting, open bootstrap.ps1 and set either $RepoUrl (git clone) or $ZipUrl (download + expand). You can also pass -ApiKey, -BaseUrl, -Dest, and -Force when invoking.
