• Voice Interaction: Uses pyttsx3 for text-to-speech and speech_recognition for speech-to-text.
• Web Operations: Opens websites, plays videos, and fetches news using webbrowser and requests.
• Email Support: Sends emails through Gmail using smtplib.
• Weather Forecast: Fetches real-time weather data via OpenWeatherMap API.
• Jokes & Fun: Delivers jokes using pyjokes.
• Math Calculations: Performs calculations using the WolframAlpha API.
• System Operations: Can shut down or restart the computer.
• Schedule Management: Sets alarms and schedules meetings using schedule.
• Battery Check: Reports the system's battery percentage using psutil.
