tgpt is a cross-platform command-line tool written in Go that lets users interact with AI chatbots (GPT, Llama, Mixtral, etc.) directly from the terminal for free. It packages multiple AI providers behind a single CLI with installers for Linux, macOS, Windows, and FreeBSD.

Use cases

  • chat with ai from the terminal
  • ask chatgpt questions without an api key
  • free ai chatbot in the command line
  • query llama or mixtral from cli
  • quick ai answers while scripting in shell
  • use ai without a browser

When to choose

  • you want free terminal-based AI chat without signing up or managing API keys
  • you need a lightweight cross-platform CLI available via brew, choco, pacman, or scoop
  • you want to pipe AI responses into shell scripts

When to avoid

  • you need a polished GUI chat experience with conversation history and file uploads
  • you require guaranteed uptime or official provider support, since free providers may be unreliable
  • you need fine-grained control over model parameters or enterprise-grade privacy compliance
