Yai is an AI-powered terminal assistant that leverages OpenAI's ChatGPT to interpret natural language descriptions and execute corresponding shell commands. It's designed for developers and power users seeking to simplify command-line operations and access AI knowledge without leaving their terminal environment.

How It Works

Yai integrates with OpenAI's API to translate user-provided natural language prompts into executable shell commands. It possesses awareness of the user's operating system, distribution, username, shell, home directory, and preferred editor, allowing it to generate contextually relevant commands. Users can also provide supplementary preferences for further customization.
