Hi HN,
I just released a very simple AI Shell / CLI tool that lets you convert natural language directly into executable shell commands. Built with python to simplify terminal workflows and help you quickly run commands without memorizing syntax.
It has two main usage modes:
One-shot mode: Quickly execute commands using natural language.
Example:
ai "find all PNG files larger than 5MB"
The AI responds with the appropriate command and asks if you want to execute it.
Interactive chat mode: Start a terminal chat session with the AI (ai -i) to iteratively build commands or scripts.
Some common use-cases:
* Quickly unzipping, untarring, or compressing files without Googling syntax.
* Complex file searches and manipulations (e.g., filtering, renaming batches of files).
* Managing Docker containers or Kubernetes deployments with plain English.
*...
It supports macOS, Linux, and Windows. It also integrates nicely with tools like tmux for split-pane workflows.
I built this because I regularly found myself searching the web for simple commands I couldn’t remember.
Feedback and feature ideas would be great!
