Nobody needs another AI feature. They need to know if svchost.exe is safe or a virus. I spent Easter weekend building something embarrassingly simple: a JSON file that explains what 80+ Windows processes actually do. Not machine learning. Not blockchain integration. Not "AI-powered insights." Just context. And it works better than I expected. The Problem: Task Manager Shows Data, Not Understanding Open Task Manager right now. You'll see: svchost.exe — 6 instances, 800MB RAM dwm.exe — 40% CPU spike RuntimeBroker.exe — Random activity System — Always at the top What do you do? Google "is svchost.exe a virus?" Read 10 forum threads. Still not sure. Maybe kill the process. Break something. PC_Workman now solves this in 0.5 seconds: Hover on svchost.exe in the chat → Service Host Process Microsoft Corporation Hosts Windows services. Multiple instances are normal. Power: Low-Medium Safety: Safe (part of Windows) CPU: 1-15% per instance RAM: 50-200MB per instance Done. No Google. No paranoia.
