Alternatives
Products that do what Talk to AI Models in Terminal does
Hi everyone, nice to meet you and I am a newcomer of HN. I have made a binary tool Aih that could communicate with Bard, ChatGPT, Claude, and Llama(HuggingChat) from the terminal. https://github.com/Databingo/aih Since CAPTCHA challenges and bots detecting have become increasingly difficult, I've changed my strategy from hacking the APIs to simulating a real browser's action. The tool first takes the logged-in cookies of Google, ChatGPT, Claude, and HuggingChat accounts from the real Chrome browser, then it opens an invisible instance of Chromium for communication, then…

Hey HN, what I wanted to build here is a proper universal layer for persisted agentic sessions, that could be seamlessly interacted both via web and a messenger (Telegram). I really like what's done so far and would be nice to hear some feedback from you. The interesting thing is that I started to use Chatcode during its development as soon it was possible, so used this tool to build itself. I know that there could be trust/privacy concerns, because it relies on a gateway that you need to install on your machine in order to work, but: 1. You can use it on any machine, just have some…

A simple chrome extension that lets you chat with any webpage using AI. I was tired of copy pasting into Chat GPT from webpages all them time so built this. Popular Use Cases: 1.

Quick Information Lookup – Effortlessly locate key details on pages such as developer documentation, car forums, and beyond. 3.

I've built VT Chat, a privacy-first AI chat application that keeps all your conversations local while providing advanced research capabilities and access to 15+ AI models including Claude 4 Sonnet and Claude 4 Opus, O3, Gemini 2.5 Pro and DeepSeek R1. Live: https://vtchat.io.vn | Source: https://github.com/vinhnx/vtchat The core difference is true local-first architecture. All chats are stored in IndexedDB with zero server storage. Your API keys never leave your browser, and I can't see them even as the developer. You can switch between OpenAI, Anthropic, Google…

I was tired of paying monthly subscriptions for all my AI tools and I wanted to pay just for what I use so I combined the AI chats I use to create my own chat - MyChat (pun intended) MyChat is an all-in-one chat bot that has a pay-as-you-go business model. The tech stack I used was NextJS, TypeScript, MongoDB, Clerk, TailwindCSS, ShadCN, Stripe, the OpenAI API hosted on Hostinger with Coolify. The code base is currently around 3500 lines of code. (About 500 of them are redundant code) The web app itself is not complicated the only complex thing in it is the math that's mapping the different…

Chat with multiple AI models once and compare the results to pick the best one. This should help you with your research as different AI model can give you different answers and some might be better than others.

Hi HN, I built ChatOne while working on a project and constantly switching between AI models like GPT-4 and newer ones like Claude 3.5. I kept wondering if I was missing out on better answers, so I created ChatOne to get responses from multiple models at once and compare them easily. -Teddy

Hi HN, I’m excited to share LocoStudio (http://locostudio.ai), a local-first AI chat app for Mac that lets you chat with AI models both locally and in the cloud—all in one place. Why I built it: I wanted a private, fast, and flexible way to use the latest AI models without sending my data to the cloud. Most AI chat apps are either cloud-only (raising privacy concerns) or have clunky interfaces for local models. LocoStudio aims to make local AI chat as easy and powerful as using ChatGPT, but with your data staying on your device. What it does: - Private, local-first: Run open models…

Hi HN, We're launching CoChat, which extends OpenWebUI with group chat, model switching, and side-by-side comparison. What makes it different: CoChat is designed for teams working with AI. - Group chat with AI facilitation. Multiple users collaborate in the same thread. The AI detects group discussions, tracks participants, and facilitates rather than dictates. - Switch and compare models. Run GPT, Claude, Mistral, Llama, and others side-by-side or switch mid-conversation. - Intelligent web search. Context-aware search activates only for real-time information. - Artifacts and tool calls.…

Hi guys, For my startup at www.mithrin.ai which is about create AI Chatbot Agents for websites, I wanted to create some free tools to attract traffic to the site and decided to create specialized chatbots powered by LLMs, similar to OpenAI's Custom GPTs. I realized that by using gpt-4o-mini, I could create quite powerful alternatives to GPTs that are free to the public for a very small cost (given how cheap the model api cost is). I've employed some throttling to prevent abuse and to avoid being charged too much. Then I integrated this with my main service and allowed users to use the…

This is a userscript that you can use with Tampermonkey, or paste it to JS console. I generated it with o1-preview, simply by pasting the HTML source of a HN page to the prompt and asking it to make a comment updating script. And it worked flawlessly — great job, OpenAI! I'm impressed. What a time to be alive! The prompt: https://chatgpt.com/share/66eb36c5-a55c-8005-9ee1-d42770297d... The script fetches new comments every 10 seconds and inserts them to a proper place in the DOM, highlighting them with a nice color. With this script, HN feels like a realtime chat in busy…

Some years ago, I discovered a bot called Little Birdie to watch HN comments for keywords and post a link to Slack. Unfortunately, it has disappeared and I've found myself missing this. So this bot is a re-implementation of it, but now also supporting Discord. It's very easy to use: 1. install the bot on your workspace/guild 2. /keywords add rust,hn,foobar (for Discord) ; @newsbutler add rust,hn,foobar (for Slack) 3. done For technical stuff : it is implemented in Crystal + Postgres (hosted on Render+Neon). I will certainly opensource it when I clean the repo of all production…
