PC Workman is a Windows system-monitoring and optimization tool that uses a local AI assistant, hck_GPT, to explain system behavior in plain language rather than simply displaying hardware statistics. By building a personalized baseline for each machine, the software can identify unusual activity, answer performance-related questions, and recommend optimizations based on actual usage patterns. The project currently has a Proof of Usefulness score of 58 and has demonstrated strong build-in-public engagement, with user feedback directly shaping new features
