Break it down into it's major functionalities. Then tackle each functionality seperatly. Keep breaking it down until it makes sense. Do a google search for tutorials on each functionality. You're more likely to find a google result on "open program with python" than "tutorial on how to build a personal assistant that can open programs for me"

Some documentation that might come in handy for your project:

Taking user input

Opening a new process in Windows

Though, if that's the only functionality you're planning on, then using shortcuts or terminal aliases sounds like a better option

Basically what I was going to say. Go through one by one and keep improving on it. Youll get there soon, but take pride in it and learn while coding.
