I was constantly googling CLI commands so I built this small CLI tool with GPT3. You can ask for shell commands right from the CLI. You'd need to use your own API KEY for this but it's pretty simple, instructions are in the README Not perfect but not bad either.

Termly▲82Hey HN! I'm one of the developers of Termly. Problem: I love using Claude Code for development, but being chained to my laptop all day wasn't working. SSH + terminal emulators felt clunky for interactive AI coding sessions. Solution: Built a WebSocket relay that mirrors your AI coding session to mobile with zero-knowledge E2E encryption. How it works: 1. npm install -g @termly-dev/cli 2. termly start (wraps your AI tool) 3. Scan QR code with mobile app 4. Your session syncs in real-time, encrypted end-to-end Tech stack: • Open source CLI (MIT licensed) - inspect the code yourself •…

Companion▲20AI that actually controls your Windows/Mac desktop - clicks, types, automates workflows across any application. Native OS integration, not cloud APIs. Built this because I was tired of AI that could only chat. Free tier (Gemini) + paid tier (Claude) for reliable automation. The AI can automate complex workflows, manage files/emails, control browsers and native apps. Just launched 2 weeks ago. What workflows would you want automated?

Hi HN! I just released assistant-tui, a terminal user interface for OpenAI's Assistant API. If terminal is your thing, it can be a great way to test and evaluate the API and its results. It implements not only the API, but also all the infrastructure to make it work, including polling, local repository, and more. Feedbacks and stars are welcome! https://github.com/dalssoft/assistant-tui

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…
