i have seen here a very technical topics about Jolla Mind2
this brings this simple question from a layman
what is exactly doing Jolla Mind2 ?
i mean something that could not be done on linux desktop Komputer ?

A layman answer is that Mind2 is some sort of Linux [c]omputer. You could try to run your own LLM’s on your computer and do the work to integrate all that with the Sailfish ecosystem and be rid of Mind2 - you’ll probably find why Mind2 exists 
Would it be possible to get the Mind2 OS to run outside of the Mind 2 ? Jollyboys is mostly a software producer, maybe this will be doable some day ?
You might also read them, as that answers your questions:

i read this topic and this is precisely because i read it that i asked my question
what is exactly doing Jolla Mind2 ?
i cannot see here anything about that
i am not asking how things can be done but what are the things that can be done
a simple example would help
excuse me if i look dumb !
Marketing obviously was never an exceptional talent of Jolla. Please drop simply 5-10 words, for what this Mind 2 is good, a few examples what it can do for one who is not in the mood to watch a 1,5 hours video again, that leaved few impression about what Mind 2 really can do (and how). Please leave a few words that a housewife can understand!

Further information what is the Jolla Mind2 and what is the current progress of the development can be found in this thread: Jolla Mind2 progress

The example from the video reminds me of a manually (from the keyboard) controlled workflow. I remember COBOL procedures. There had to be a list and a sequence of launching them in order to achieve the expected result. I cannot imagine that I would carry out the activities of my “workflow” in such a way, either at work or at home. But I belong to a different generation, or I probably don’t understand it at all, but that’s my problem. 
To be clear, I have nothing against Mind2!!!

this is exactly what my question was
and it looks beyond the capacity of some guys who answered here,
maybe i should ask the question to Jolla Mind 2?

Some of the guys (and girls) who respond here are only trying to help. It’s often beneficial to ask the right question, too.
Hasn’t the video cleared all your doubts though? The examples shown there and the explanation are basically what Mind2 can do.

i am very aware of the willingness of the guys (and girls) who respond here
although i can read and write it english is not my speaking mother language so i cannot follow well enough an almost 2 hours video without loosing much of the content
besides that i thought my question was quite right when asking like @Seven.of.nine “a few words that a housewife can understand”
I linked the video carefully at the stage where Mind2 is showcased. Youtube has CC and can also translate. You don’t need to watch 2 hours (although the video is quite well made, so it’s worth it).
If the few words that anyone could understand are not available, feel free to put them together. This is what our community is for. Jolla can’t hire an expensive marketing team, so don’t expect the same level of output that similar [but bigger] companies produce.
thanks for your help
i listened to your linked video and i must say i do not understand well enough as i said to have any comment about it
so i am giving the idea of getting any simple answer at my question!!
however if a few words from you could explain please “feel free to put them together”
I have similar kind of question. The Mind2 presentations tell how the device is able to access the emails and calendars etc. ok, fine. But what else?
Is it possible for it e.g. to access my overleaf projects and cross reference their contents with sources or analyse the math in them to have an intellectual sparring partner? Is it capable of accessing e.g. IEEE database with my institution credentials and help me find relevant scientific articles and make summaries of those that I find the most interesting?

I find these simple questions interesting too.
And one reason I turned my eyes from it (out of missing time to be interested in too many things) is that I finally could not represent myself in what it could be useful in my daily real life.
Example:
I’m (actually, not) a toy cars collector. But I only buy tractors, and those without closed cabins.
Would Mind2 be able to scroll the ads (given I told it the correct url) for me and select potential candidates for me? This would save me lots of hours.
If the answer is yes, if it is able to distinguish objects, I’ll buy one now! Promised.
edit: not only housewives need simple answers

I think both of last questions are bit out of scope for mind2? The pitch was using your phone data securely/privately, while I’m sure some scope creep is possible, browsing for you and choosing for you based on random internet search data was not hinted at in the OG pitch (still might be doable if you add a screenshotting api and image recognition model, and some script to download latex from overleaf etc), both seem like the latest video presentations from MS/openai with 0 real life implementations and straight from the hype sphere (which is luckily dying), current tech can’t count i’s in mississipi, expecting it to make decisions for you, maybe it can summarize something without making stuff up is more realistic expectation (and a big maybe)

Ok. I’m not so much into AI things, so I have no idea of what others promise, and so.
But more modestly, summarizing messages, answering to administrative unpersonal ones, this perhaps on vocal command are also concrete tasks. Not without interest.
I’m sure people will fiddle and give creative feedback.
And here we are.
I’d also want to know what is the benefit of having Mind2 at home. I’d like to get some small list of things this device is capable of doing and how it can improve my life but yeah at others mentioned, it seems no one can actually answer this question which leads me to believe that people who are pretending they’re trying to help have no idea themselves yet, trying to not show this to others.

Yes, more little demo video snippets with an overview of the task at the beginning, the demo and requirements and limitations at the end would be golden.
Also how to add new integrations to get ones data into the box and add new workflows could make the value a lot clearer.
