## What it is
Gorilla CLI is a command-line tool that turns plain-English objectives into candidate shell commands using LLMs like Gorilla LLM, GPT-4, and Claude. It supports roughly 1500 APIs (Kubernetes, AWS, GCP, Azure, GitHub, and more) and executes commands only with explicit user approval.

## Use cases
- generate shell commands from natural language
- remember kubectl flags without memorizing them
- list all my GCP instances from the terminal
- get image ids of all pods in all namespaces
- create files with random content via CLI
- use LLM assistance for aws and gcp commands

## When to choose
- you frequently forget complex CLI arguments for tools like kubectl, gcloud, or aws
- you want candidate commands to pick from rather than a single guess
- you want a research-backed LLM CLI assistant that never collects stdout

## When to avoid
- you need a production-supported tool with guaranteed uptime and support
- you are uncomfortable sending queries and stderr logs to a third-party service
- you need offline command generation without API access
