    A copilot for your terminal (by searchableguy)

  • 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.

  • open-interpreter

    A natural language interface for computers

  • 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.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • cligpt

    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

  • kitty

    Cross-platform, fast, feature-rich, GPU based terminal

  • 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.

  • 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

  • autocomplete

    IDE-style autocomplete for your existing terminal & shell

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