What it does

Aish empowers the shell to think by providing AI-powered shell operations, allowing for more efficient and automated workflow management.

When to use it
  • •When automating repetitive shell tasks and wanting to integrate AI decision-making.
  • •When needing to analyze and respond to shell output in a more intelligent way.
  • •When looking to streamline shell operations and reduce manual intervention.
Ready-to-paste prompt
./target/release/aish --config aish.config --operation 'ls -l | grep keyword'
Heads up: Aish requires Rust and Cargo to be installed on the system, and a compatible version of Rust (1.64 or higher) is necessary for building and running aish.
