Description
Every other AI writes what you tell it. Ghostwriter writes what you already know. Double-tap Left Ctrl in any text field, in any app, and the reply is there — drawn from the thread on screen, your calendar, your files and your past meetings, indexed in an encrypted vault on your PC. It won't double-book you, and it matches how you write to that person, down to the sign-off. Then it stops: it types into the box and never sends. Windows.

Could you build this?
No Capturing OS-level active text field contexts, hooking system-wide double-tap keystrokes, running real-time OCR or UI automation accessibility trees across arbitrary Windows apps, and injecting text safely requires deep Windows systems programming.
What it would actually take: Requires a native Windows desktop client (C++ or Rust) using low-level Windows APIs (SetWindowsHookEx for key interception, UI Automation / IAccessible2 or Desktop Duplication API for reading context around the caret). The core difficulties lie in reliably detecting caret position across disparate UI frameworks (Electron, WPF, Win32, Qt) and real-time on-device semantic search over encrypted personal files without running into OS anti-cheat or antivirus heuristics.
