About:
Betty is a natural language interface that translates plain English commands into standard Linux terminal operations. It allows users to perform complex system tasks without memorizing syntax, making the command line more approachable. The tool parses input and maps it to underlying shell commands for file management and system queries.
Key Features:
  • Natural language parsing for Linux commands
  • Supports file operations and system queries
  • Extensible command set
  • Simple command-line interface
Use Cases:
  • New users learning Linux command line basics
  • Quick file and directory management without syntax lookup
  • Assisting non-technical users in server maintenance
Alternatives:
  • ShellGPT – AI-powered, requires API key, more versatile but heavier
  • Howdoi – Searches Stack Overflow for answers, not direct command execution
