Intelligent Terminal is an experimental fork of Windows Terminal by Microsoft that adds native AI agent integration via the Agent Client Protocol (ACP). It retains all Windows Terminal features (tabs, profiles, themes, shells) while adding an agent pane, agent status bar, session management, and error detection in the command line.

Use cases

• run AI coding agents like GitHub Copilot CLI directly inside my terminal
• get a terminal with a built-in AI agent pane for pair programming
• detect and fix command-line errors with AI assistance
• manage multiple AI agent sessions from a terminal status bar
• use any ACP-compatible agent CLI on Windows
• try an AI-enhanced alternative to Windows Terminal

When to choose

• you're on Windows 10 2004+ and want AI agents integrated into your terminal workflow
• you already use or want to try GitHub Copilot CLI or other ACP-compatible agent CLIs
• you like Windows Terminal but want native agent panes, status bars, and error detection
• you want to experiment with cutting-edge agentic terminal tooling from Microsoft

When to avoid

• you need a stable, production-hardened terminal - this is explicitly experimental
• you're on macOS or Linux - it's Windows-only
• you don't want an AI subscription or agent CLI dependency
• you need features beyond the Windows Terminal fork's current scope or prefer vanilla Windows Terminal
