The Free Life Planner (FLP) is an ambitious, Emacs-based artificial
intelligence project aimed at creating a comprehensive life management
system to address global challenges like poverty, hunger, and
disease. This talk will provide a 5-year progress report on FLP,
highlighting its integration with Emacs and its potential to serve as
a virtual secondary social safety net.
FLP leverages the power of free/libre software and AI to offer
intelligent planning and decision support across various life
domains. Key features include modules for finance, health, nutrition,
and transportation, all accessible through an Emacs interface. The
system employs advanced planning algorithms, machine learning, and
natural language processing to provide personalized assistance
tailored to individual needs.
We'll explore how FLP uses Emacs as its central developer console,
demonstrating how it can control Emacs through agentic software. The
presentation will showcase practical applications of FLP, such as the
Gourmet meal planner and the financial planning module, illustrating
how these tools can improve quality of life and promote self-reliance.
The talk will also address the challenges faced in developing FLP,
including privacy concerns and the complexities of releasing such a
comprehensive system. We'll discuss our commitment to free/libre
software principles and our vision for FLP's future as a tool for
social good.
By attending this talk, you'll gain insights into:
- How Emacs can serve as a platform for advanced AI applications
- The potential of free/libre software to address global challenges
- Practical applications of AI in daily life management
- The intersection of technology and social responsibility
