ChappieAI

Your AI co-pilot with hands. Files, git, terminal & more.

What it does

ChappieAI is not another chatbot. It's a true AI agent for macOS—a co-pilot with hands that DOES things. 🧠 Remembers context across sessions. 📂 Manages your local files. 💻 Runs terminal commands. 🐙 Uses git to commit & push. Bring your own API key (OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic & 10+) or run fully offline with local models like Llama. Stop talking to a brain in a jar. Get an AI that gets its hands dirty.

ChappieAI is a universal AI agent for macOS. Chat, code, projects, memory — everything in one app.

Chat with any AI model, work with projects, files, Git and memory — all in one native app. Streaming, history, Markdown rendering, syntax highlighting for code blocks. OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Ollama and other providers. Switch in one click. 10 ecosystems: Xcode, Python, Node.js, Rust, Go and others. AI works inside your codebase. AI remembers context between sessions, threads and projects. Never repeat yourself. AI autonomously reads and writes files, executes tasks, runs builds and tests. status, commit, revert, diff, log — directly from the chat window. Attach PDF, DOCX, images and other formats. AI reads and analyzes them. Search the web directly from chat. AI fetches and summarizes…from chappieai.ru

    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…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

    Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!
