A command-line AI Assistante (aia) that provides pre-compositional template prompt management to various backend gen-AI processes such as llm, mods and sgpt support processing of prompts both via remote API calls as well as keeping everything local through the use of locally managed models and the LocalAI API. Complete shell integration allows a prompt to access system environment variables and execut shell commands as part of the prompt content. In addition full embedded Ruby support is provided given even more dynamic prompt conditional content. It is a generalized power house that rivals specialized gen-AI tools. aia currently supports "mods" and "sgpt" CLI tools. aia uses "ripgrep" and "fzf" CLI utilities to search for and select prompt files to send to the backend gen-AI tool along with supported context files.
