tgpt

tgpt is a lightweight console tool that enables you to use ChatGPT 3.5 directly in your favorite terminal. It is worth mentioning that you can use the tool without having any API keys and that it communicates directly with the backend of a BAI (‘Bank of Artificial Intelligence) chatbot.

As previously mentioned, the tool doesn’t require any API, so you can just start chatting and interact with the AI bot without further configuration. The tool provides an ‘interactive’ mode where you can ask questions or use prompts, similarly as you would normally do with ChatGPT. It also features a multi-line interactive mode, and you can exit using the Ctrl + C or typing exit.

For the time being, the app includes two experimental mode that can be useful to anyone who prefers to get things done via console. You can generate and execute shell commands via ‘s’ command and generate code in multiple programming languages via the ‘c’ command.

The obvious disadvantage of the tool is that you can only interact with the 3.5 version of ChatGPT, which is also exactly what you get right now as a free user.

If you prefer the efficiency of a console, then this tool provides a great alternative that doesn’t require you open your browser or install other third-party tools. The utility can also come in handy for developers who want to leverage the power of ChatGPT for their projects as well as anyone who wants to create scripts and automate redundant, yet resource consuming tasks.

In the eventuality that you want to create scripts, automation tools or get some extra help when working on your personal programming project, then perhaps you can consider giving tgpt a try.
