AI-Assistant

Personal helper for your computer using Anthropic's API

Only tested on Windows

Setup

Ensure you have Python latest release installed on your system.

First, set your Anthropic API key as an environment variable:

set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

Next, navigate to your project directory and install the dependency:

pip install rich

Rich is used for showing markdown formatting in the terminal.

---

Additionally, create a folder named Context. In this folder, you can add files that the assistant can read or write to.

Finally, create a folder named Projects if you would like to import your own projects that the assistant can manage. The assistant will automatically create this folder if it ever builds a project on its own.
