  1. whiz

    A copilot for your terminal

    I love yours. It is entirely in shell script.

    I recommend using chatgpt functions for more reliability. I'm making use of them[0]. I wanted to use javascript since I want to extend it with a plugin system later, haha.

  3. openinterpreter

    A lightweight coding agent for open models like Deepseek, Kimi, and Qwen

    It is quite similar to https://github.com/KillianLucas/open-interpreter

    Such terminal tools are quite like AI agents, it should think about steps and then execute one by one.

  4. cligpt

    Discontinued Terminal autocomplete integation with GPT

    I've built a similar shell script a while ago and still use it quite frequently: https://github.com/Luanf/cligpt

  5. kitty

    If you live in the terminal, kitty is made for you! Cross-platform, fast, feature-rich, GPU based.

    I loved Warp for it's speed, but the keybindings and lack of configuration didn't work for me. For example, it doesn't support "ctrl+x ctrl+e" which I use daily for editing long prompts in vim.

    I recently switched to (Kitty)[https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/] and I don't think I'm ever going back. It's not flashy and doesn't have any AI features. It's just a donation-funded, wickedly fast, highly configurable, dotfiles-friendly, modern terminal emulator.

  6. zsh_codex

    This is a ZSH plugin that enables you to use OpenAI's Codex AI in the command line.

    All of the alternatives commented so far have the same downside, you got a LLM response and you can either run it or abort.

    https://github.com/tom-doerr/zsh_codex

    ^ This is much nicer as it hook into zsh completion so you got a response that drop right into the shell input (enter to execute or edit away)

    Also you can write shell script directly in prompt and use it to auto complete the rest

  7. autocomplete

    IDE-style autocomplete for your existing terminal & shell

    How is this different than https://fig.io/?
