A Python CLI tool that uses OpenAI's GPT-3 Codex model to translate natural language commands into Bash, Zsh, or PowerShell commands. Users type an intent, press Ctrl+G, and receive a shell command suggestion idiomatic to their shell.
Use cases
- convert natural language to bash commands
- find shell command from plain english description
- generate powershell commands from natural language
- use codex in the terminal
- translate what's my ip address into a shell command
- cross-shell natural language command line assistant
When to choose
- you want natural language to shell command translation across Bash, Zsh, and PowerShell
- you have an OpenAI API key with access to Codex engines
- you want a reference implementation of prompt engineering with Codex
When to avoid
- you need a maintained product with active feature development - the repo is explicitly a demo, not a released product
- you don't have access to OpenAI Codex engines, which are deprecated
- you need guaranteed-correct commands - the model can make mistakes
