ai

A command line interface to ChatGPT and prepared prompts.

STATUS: Extremely unstable

Reference Documentation:

Prepared Prompts

Inside the prompts directory you will find prepared prompts you can use to help you focus your chat sessions.

If you create a great prompt, please create a pull request and I'll add it in.

ai Command Line

You can use the ai command line tool located in this repository to interact with ChatGPT from the terminal.

Features:

  • Uses an OPENAI_API_KEY, which is far cheaper than a subscription
  • Prepared prompts. eg: ai python "read a csv file"
  • Start interactive sessions or one-time requests
  • Asynchronous or synchronous interface

Installation

The ai command is simply a Python script. To install the ai command, follow these steps.

Step 1 - Install Python

If you don't have Python installed you will need to install Python v3. The script has been tested on Python v3.10.

Once installed, test it by opening a terminal or command prompt and typing:

python --version
pip --version

Step 2 - Install Modules

Python supports many different modules. This command line tool uses the following installable modules:

To install these modules, use the following command in the terminal:

python -m pip install argparse openai pick prompt_toolkit rich fpdf markdown pyperclip

You'll also need to make sure you have 'tk' installed:

sudo pacman -S tk

If you would prefer, there is a pyproject.toml file for a Poetry installation.

Step 3 - Clone Repository

You will need git installed to carry out this step.

For Linux:

bin_path="${HOME}/bin"
mkdir -p "${bin_path}"
cd "${bin_path}"
git clone https://github.com/grantcarthew/python-ai ai

Step 4 - Add PATH

To be able to run the command without changing into the cloned directory, you will need to edit your PATH environment variable.

For Linux:

echo 'export PATH="${PATH}:${HOME}/bin/ai"' >> "${HOME}/.bashrc"

Step 5 - Restart Terminal

To pickup the new PATH environment variable, restart your terminal.

At this point, you should have access to the ai command.

Try this:

ai -i "Hi"

The above example is calling the ai command, enabling "interactive mode" with -i, and then saying "Hi" to ChatGPT.
