tgpt is a command-line interface tool that provides access to AI chatbots in your terminal without cost.
The tool solves the problem of accessing AI capabilities from the command line by connecting to multiple AI providers through a single interface. It works by accepting queries typed into the terminal and routing them to available AI services, returning responses directly in your shell without requiring a web browser or paid subscriptions.
The tool suits developers and terminal users who want quick access to AI assistance without leaving their command-line environment. It works across GNU/Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, and Windows, with multiple installation methods including package managers like Homebrew, Pacman, Scoop, and Chocolatey, as well as direct binary downloads and Go installation. The project supports proxy configuration through both environment variables and configuration files, accommodating various network setups including HTTP proxies with authentication and SOCKS5 proxies.
The project maintains active development with regular updates available through its package manager integrations and direct installation methods. The codebase is written in Go, enabling cross-platform compilation and distribution as standalone binaries. The tool supports multiple AI providers and models, with documentation covering both installation procedures and usage patterns. Configuration is straightforward, with settings stored in standard locations like ~/.config/tgpt on Linux systems and Library/Application Support/tgpt on macOS.
