This is exactly right.  An Einstein API and complimentary concierge daemon would be no small undertaking, but it could lead to features such as tap-to-call from the contacts app or via intelligent assist and perform a handoff back and forth to low-level phone services such as OFono.

I haven’t tried compiling Einstein in Linux I’m quite some time nor on ARM (at least in qemu), but will see how to process goes.  I can see the Pinebooks now as a potentially reasonable development environment despite the modest design.
