ShellAI – Local Terminal Assistance with SLM

What it does

Shellai (pronounced shellay) is a command-line interface for getting AI assistance without network calls or a separate interface. It's built around the idea that I should be able to, in my terminal, simply type ai, do this thing and have it generate the command for me. Shellai uses local small-language models (SLMs) to fulfill user requests. Your data stays on your machine. Unlike other tools like shellgpt , the local inference is built into this tool - no need to turn up an ollama serverfrom github.com

  Get answers for shell commands from GPT3 from your terminal2022 · github.com · ▲159

  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.

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
