24 alternatives to AI Terminal
Built this after realizing that existing AI tools treat every file like it exists in isolation. AI Terminal actually understands your project structure and suggests changes that make sense. What makes it different: -Semantic understanding: Uses AST + ML to map your entire codebase -Pattern recognition: Identifies and suggests code following existing architectural patterns -Terminal-first: Built for developers who live in the command line -Persistent intelligence: Remembers insights about your project across sessions Benchmarks vs popular tools: 3.2x faster codebase navigation vs Copilot 91%…

Hey HN, I'm building Plandex (https://plandex.ai), an open source, terminal-based AI coding engine for complex tasks. I built Plandex because I was tired of copying and pasting code back and forth between ChatGPT and my projects. It can complete tasks that span multiple files and require many steps. It uses the OpenAI API with your API key (support for other models, including Claude, Gemini, and open source models is on the roadmap). You can watch a 2 minute demo here: https://player.vimeo.com/video/926634577 Here's a prompt I used to build the AWS…

After training calculator agent via RL, I really wanted to go bigger! So I built RL infrastructure for training long-horizon terminal/coding agents that scales from 2x A100s to 32x H100s (~$1M worth of compute!) Without any training, my 32B agent hit #19 on Terminal-Bench leaderboard, beating Stanford's Terminus-Qwen3-235B-A22! With training... well, too expensive, but I bet the results would be good! *What I did*: - Created a Claude Code-inspired agent (system msg + tools) - Built Docker-isolated GRPO training where each rollout gets its own container - Developed a multi-agent…

I've been exploring the (not so=) amazing potential of AI in coding and have compiled a list of tools. From AI-powered IDEs to code generators, this resource is my contribution to the community. I'm still on the fence about including txt2sql projects, as their functionality seems too basic to me. And I'm personally maintaining this, so your feedback is wellcome.

Agen▲138AI changed the way we code, but we're still using the old processes, and we've become the bottleneck, the AI is waiting for us - to reply, to open our laptops, to review the code, and so on. We're building the future of AI software development. The agents are autonomous, they run in sandboxes, automatically fix the pipelines, and deliver you the final, working code. You can use live preview to see the changes they made. Working across multiple repositories, all within the same session. This is the future - you don't need an IDE, and you don't have to run anything locally.

TaskShell▲86I initially built this for myself but some folks asked me to open access to it. Let me explain what I built and why. I'm a product designer who transitioned from only designing to building complete software products myself and I found myself using AI coding agents literally every day. I started with cursor, then codex and claude code, then kilo code, and then moved to opencode. The only thing AI agents couldn't get done for me was to keep track of my todos and tasks for all my projects. I ended up vibe coding a todo app separately or using apps like TickTick. The main issue with separate…

Vexp▲14I built vexp because AI coding agents have two expensive problems: they waste tokens reading irrelevant code, and they forget everything between sessions. The token problem: agents read entire files linearly to build context. On a medium TypeScript project, a single query was consuming ~18k tokens — most of it irrelevant. vexp builds a dependency graph from the AST (who calls what, who imports what, what types flow where) and serves only the relevant subgraph as a token-budgeted capsule. ~2.4k tokens instead of ~18k, with better response quality because the context is precise. The memory…
