AiTerm: AI Terminal Assistant is an AI-powered terminal tool designed to convert natural language requests into executable terminal commands, enhancing productivity for developers and command-line users directly within their terminal. It offers on-demand AI assistance, documentation, IDE-style command completion, and customizable command workflows, all while prioritizing privacy and speed.
Key Capabilities
- Natural language to commands: Describe what you want the terminal to do, and AiTerm generates and executes the appropriate commands.
- On-demand documentation: Quick access to command usage, flags, and examples without leaving the terminal.
- IDE-style autocompletion: Auto-suggests and completes the most used commands to speed up workflow.
- Customizable command content: Create, edit, and manage personalized command templates and workflows.
- Flow organization: Structure and maintain an elegant workflow by adding, editing, deleting, and executing commands.
- Privacy-first: AiTerm does not store terminal contents on its servers; data remains on your device.
- Broad terminal support: Works with popular terminals including iTerm, VS Code Terminal, cmd, PowerShell, and more.
- Fast and lightweight: Built with Go to provide concurrent, fast performance without heavy resource use.
How AiTerm Works
- Describe your desired action. Tell AiTerm what you want the terminal to accomplish.
- AI generates commands. AiTerm translates your request into executable commands or command sequences.
- Execute or edit. Run the generated commands directly or edit them before execution.
- Save as templates. Persist useful commands as templates for reuse in future sessions.
AiTerm integrates an AI assistant with terminal-native workflows, enabling efficient command discovery, execution, and optimization without leaving your terminal session.
How to Use AiTerm
- Install AiTerm on your preferred terminal (iTerm, VS Code Terminal, cmd, PowerShell, etc.).
- Open AiTerm within your terminal.
- Type a natural language request, e.g., “list all git branches sorted by date” or “create a new Python virtual environment with a requirements file.”
- Review the AI-generated commands, tweak if necessary, and execute.
- Save frequently used commands as templates for quick access.
Safety and Privacy
- AiTerm never stores terminal contents on its servers. Your data remains on your device.
- Users should exercise caution when executing commands that affect system configuration or data, especially in production environments.
