Did a little more thinking about LaunchBar Actions and drifted into
considering how they could combine with Simon Willison’s llm
framework. Simon mostly demonstrates llm as a powerful CLI tool for
interacting with modern AI models. The CLI is porcelain around
extremely sophisticated Python module plumbing. LaunchBar could make a
nice alternative porcelain.
So how does one go about creating LaunchBar Actions? The code examples I’ve seen are pretty straightforward. I could likely reverse engineer the directory structure and code interface even if documentation didn’t exist. However, the fine folks at Objective Development added a LaunchBar Action Editor in version 6.4 of the tool. Well what do you know!? 😲
And of course there is documentation for authoring actions.
