Not to squash your enthusiams but this has been done many times in the past and it's just never worked out. I think one reason is, except for a few programmers, the average user just doesn't want smart sketching. Sketching is simple but add all the meta tasks and suddenly it's no longer remotely simple.

Not quite the same but there was even a commerical vector illustration app that tried to add a bunch of "smart" programmable features back in the early 90s. It failed: https://www.google.com/search?q=intellidraw+adlus

Of course that doesn't mean someone won't get it right and compelling eventually. Me, I'd guess it would take some serious ML and maybe voice/gesture recongintion for it to really work for more than a few geeks.
