AI CLI

AI assistant in your terminal.

$ ai "Tell me an interesting fact about the Roman Empire"
me: Tell me an interesting fact about the Roman Empire
ai: The Roman Empire had a vast network of roads extending over 250,000 miles at its peak...

Installation

Install @callstack/ai-cli npm package globally:

npm install -g @callstack/ai-cli

Setup

API key

You will need a valid API key from one of supported AI inference providers: OpenAI or Perplexity. Using these APIs is paid but the costs should be very low, typically much less than $0.01 per interaction.

Quick config

Run ai init to create a basic ~/.airc.json config file with your OpenAI or Perplexity API key.

$ ai init

Read more about the configuration file format and available option.

Usage

Run ai [query] to start a chat with an AI assistant. You can put the question in the params.

$ ai "Tell me a joke"
me: Tell me a joke
ai: Why don’t skeletons fight each other? They don’t have the guts.

CLI options

CLI options are passed when invoking the ai commend:

• --help: display available options
• --provider [name] (or -p [name]): select an inference provider to use
• --model [name] (or -m [name]): select a model to use
• --creative: respond in a creative way
• --precise: respond in a more accurate way

You need to have an API key for selected provider in your ~/.airc.json file.

See more info about the command line options.

• /help: display available commands
