gptme is a free, open-source personal AI agent that runs in the terminal, equipped with local tools for shell execution, code writing, file editing, web browsing, and vision. It is provider-agnostic (Anthropic, OpenAI, local llama.cpp, etc.) and can also be used as a library, server, or foundation for building custom persistent agents.

Use cases

• run an AI coding agent in my terminal
• have an LLM fix failing tests and commit changes
• automate code review on pull requests in CI
• chat with an AI that can execute shell commands and edit files
• build my own autonomous agent on top of an existing framework
• use a local LLM agent without sending data to the cloud
• let an AI browse the web and summarize pages from the terminal

When to choose

• you want a terminal-first, provider-agnostic coding agent as an alternative to Claude Code or Codex
• you need local-first operation with local models via llama.cpp
• you want to automate AI workflows in CI/CD pipelines or scripts
• you want to build custom persistent agents on an extensible platform with MCP support

When to avoid

• you need a polished GUI-first IDE experience like Cursor
• you primarily work on Windows natively without WSL or Docker
• you want a fully hands-off agent without any confirmation or oversight
