🛫 Airplane - an AI driven terminal REPL

Ask your OS questions, give it instructions - get back direct OS commands to run (with your approval) to achieve your results.

Airplane is designed to be straighforward, fast and simple. It integrates with your existing shell, giving you the ability to write prompts in a natural language directly in the command-line, by prefixing your input with the colon character (:).

Examples for things you can ask

• :show environment variables
• :information about my memory
• :information about my cpus
• :create a directory called “demo”, give it full file permissions and change to it
• :create a text file with the lyrics of the song Hava Nagila
• :show all ports and their listening processes
• :restart nginx
