AICLI

A beginner-friendly AI-powered terminal.

✨ Why This Exists

I've decided to make the CLI much more user-friendly by integrating AI.
From now on, you can simply describe what you want in plain English (or any natural language), and the AI-powered API will automatically convert it into the correct command.

No more memorizing flags.
No more digging through documentation.
No more fear of breaking something.

Just describe your intent — the terminal handles the syntax.

👶 Built for Beginners

Traditional terminals can feel intimidating:

• Cryptic errors

• Complex flags

• Unclear documentation

• Fear of making mistakes

AICLI changes that.

You can:

• Ask what a command does

• Generate the correct command from natural language

• Get suggestions for safer alternatives

• Learn while working

You don’t need to know the exact syntax.
You just need to know what you want to achieve.

🚀 How It Works

When you run:

$ aicli

A new desktop window opens:

• Left side → real bash or zsh

• Right side → built-in AI assistant

• Responses stream in real time

• You can interrupt generation anytime

---

🛠 Requirements

Make sure you have the following installed:

• Python 3.11+

• Node.js 18+

• Rust + Cargo

• Git

📦 Installation Guide

1️⃣ Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/vasiliy-cell/AI-console.git
cd AICLI

---

2️⃣ Setup Python (AI Service)

Navigate to the Python directory:

cd python

Create a virtual environment:

python -m venv venv

Activate it:

macOS / Linux

source venv/bin/activate

pip install -r requirements.txt

---

🔑 Add Your API Key

1. Go to: https://platform.deepseek.com/api_keys

2. Create an API Key (paid service, but affordable)

Then place your key inside:

python/api_key.txt

The file should contain only the API key, without quotes or extra spaces.

---

3️⃣ Install Frontend Dependencies

Go back to the project root:

cd ..

Install Node dependencies:

npm install

---

4️⃣ Run the Application

Start the desktop app:

npm run tauri dev

---

🧠 What Happens Internally

• Python handles AI streaming and prompt logic

• Rust manages the terminal (PTY, resize, system events)

• The frontend renders the terminal and AI panel

The AI runs as a separate process and communicates via stdin/stdout.
