⚡ AI Terminal Assistant - VS Code Extension
Type plain English in the terminal → get real commands → auto-execute.
What's New in v2.0
- Smart Terminal: Custom AI-powered terminal — type naturally, commands auto-translate and execute
- Auto Model Selection: No model config needed, most stable model auto-selected per provider
- Smart Detection: Knows the difference between English and real commands — real commands pass through directly
- Simplified Setup: Just pick a provider, paste your API key, done
Quick Start
- Install the extension
- Click the ⚡ icon in the Activity Bar
- Select your AI provider (Gemini, OpenAI, Groq, etc.)
- Paste your API key and click Save
- Press
Ctrl+Shift+I to open the AI Terminal
- Start typing in plain English!
How It Works
The AI Terminal is a custom shell that understands both:
Natural Language (auto-translated + executed):
> create a new git branch called feature-auth
✓ git checkout -b feature-auth
Creates and switches to a new branch
> build docker image and run on port 3000
✓ docker build -t app . && docker run -p 3000:3000 app
Real Commands (executed directly):
> git status
> docker ps -a
> npm install
The terminal auto-detects which is which — no special syntax needed.
