and something I cooked up called aichat

A high-speed CLI tool for instant interaction with local and cloud-based LLMs.

AIChat streamlines your terminal workflow by connecting directly to providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, and local Ollama instances. It handles multi-line inputs, manages persistent chat sessions, and supports custom roles defined in simple YAML files. Developers use it to pipe shell output for immediate debugging or to generate complex scripts without leaving the command line (using the --execute flag). It is a lightweight binary built for performance and minimal latency.
