CLAI: A Platform for AI Skills on the Command Line
This paper reports on the open source project CLAI (Command Line AI), aimed at bringing the power of AI to the command line interface. The platform sets up the CLI as a new environment for AI researchers to conquer by surfacing the command line as a generic environment that researchers can interface to using a simple sense-act API much like the traditional AI agent architecture. In this paper, we discuss the design and implementation of the platform in detail, through illustrative use cases of new end user interaction patterns enabled by this design, and through quantitative evaluation of the system footprint of a CLAI-enabled terminal. We also report on some early user feedback on its features from an internal survey.
