I feel like you could strip down a UI, stick a language model on a help menu and you'd be most of the way there with this already.

I have a minor hesitation here. The user inputs an endpoint, and the program is then supposed to connect a user with the tool to complete it. Solutions often have different ways of being reached with tradeoffs associated with each method.

Also, I wouldn't underestimate the ways in which, for some types of workers, the affordances of tools are part of the creative process. There's a way in which a product will be less thought through when the journey from conception to completion is cut short.

Amusingly, for a long time, emacs has effectively been this, but with a fuzzy search tool. Very common to just bring up the command minibar and start typing words looking for relevant things.

Going back, many old machines were like this. They all had some form of "apropos" command that we seem to have completely forgotten about as things got bigger. Indeed, the idea of man pages and the like seemed to get skipped out on with dos, such that windows also didn't really have it ingrained heavily. The docs were almost certainly there, but they were often specific in formatting to each program? (Or is my memory just off?)
