While AI has blossomed in capability, it is usually locked behind a web interface. And that prevents you from easily using it for automation and ad-hoc tasks. Ai.exe solves this problem - a simple tool to let you run AI from the console.
At first launch, ai.exe will prompt you for an Azure Open AI key, endpoint, and deployment name. It will store these into Windows' credential manager.
Run ai --help to see the command line parameters.
