go install github.com/kensmith/ai@latest
$ ai
In the tradition of a single purpose unix tool, ai just reads your question
from standard input and writes the response to standard
output. It accepts a single argument to select the model.
$ cat question | ai gpt-4o > answer
See sandbox/ai.mk in this package for a build target that
you can run instead of doing the above by hand.
Create a file called question.md in the same directory as
that makefile, then:
$ make ai
It will query all of the models selected in $(use-models)
in parallel. The files answer-$(model).md will contain the responses.
You will need an API key for the provider of the model.
Then set the API keys in your shell environment.
export OPENAI_API_KEY=<your key>
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=<your key>
export XAI_API_KEY=<your key>
You don't need all of these keys. You only need keys for the models you want to use.
I had been using Fabric which is pretty great but it does a lot more than I want and I found its UI to be a little heavy. I'm a minimalist so I made a minimalist tool. This tool has zero dependencies and is implemented in less than 500 lines of code on its first release.
