Quick Ask widget for Windows
The question you would otherwise open a browser tab for: a unit conversion, what an error code means, the word you cannot remember. Type it, press Enter, get two sentences back. It remembers the last couple of turns so a follow-up like "and in kilometres?" works, keeps a short history you can copy from, and talks to whichever AI integration you connected, including Ollama running on your own machine for free. Turn on "Include dashboard data" and it can also see your open todos, upcoming reminders and birthdays, countdowns, today's habits, goals and notes, so "what do I have on this week?" gets a real answer. It is off by default, and the Secrets widget is never included.
