i cant think of a decent name for it. I cant really call it a widget because its not a widget its a custom view but it looks and acts like its a widget so widget thing sounds right lol.

i think once ive written some sort of an AI for the command bar it will be clever enough to name itself lol.

Incase anyone else is confused about what this does ive just explained it to someone in a bit more detail heres the post
The idea is for me to be able to quickly run my Tasker tasks and do basic assistant things all from 1 place (the widget) like id say tell me the weather forecast and it would speak the weather to me id say send a text to whoever and it would send a send a text to someone. The web browser part is so i can say things like show me the Note 8 and instead of taking me into another application like chrome or firefox it can instantly loads up the information on the Note 8 inside the widgets browser which keeps me on my homescreen as you see in the video i go to youtube and i can watch a video without ever leaving my homescreen. Its still a work in progress which is why when i type something in the bar at the top all it does is show a Toast with command: and whatever i typed.
Over the weekend i will be adding voice support to it so i can give the personal assistant side of it a little personality and instead of typing stuff in the command bar il be able to speak to it. In the video the widget slides into view but as shown i can freely move it around it so it can be placed anywhere within my homescreen like in the pic below but with my phone not having a 49″ screen like my TV its awkward to use the browser resized like this so i figured it was best to have the widget fulllscreen but slide into view when i need it. Dont forget this launcher also has a floating desktop azwell so i can also have this accessible from anywhere at all not just the homescreen. I could bring it up when watching TV playing on my xbox etc so as a quick example i can quickly search an actor in a movie im watching or something without picking up my phone or leaving the movie to open a website or run a Tasker task while playing a game.
