About:
Aichat is a versatile command-line tool that integrates multiple AI providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, and local models into a single interface. It supports function calling, RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), and acts as a smart shell copilot. This allows developers to interact with AI for coding assistance, text processing, and system tasks directly from the terminal.
Key Features:
  • Unified interface for 20+ AI providers (OpenAI, Claude, Ollama, etc.)
  • Built-in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) support
  • Function calling for executing local commands and scripts
  • Session management and conversation history
Use Cases:
  • Generating code snippets or refactoring existing code via CLI
  • Summarizing documentation or technical articles
  • Using AI as a smart shell copilot for system operations
Alternatives:
  • llm – Similar functionality but aichat offers more built-in RAG features and provider support out of the box
  • shell-gpt – Aichat provides a more interactive chat experience and better session management
