A WIP but evolving, it watches your active tmux panes and allows you to work with AI agents who can interact with those panes. For command line folk, this could feel like a pretty good way to bring AI in to your working life.

Thanks iaresee! Yes, the non-intrusive observation of panes is the central idea, trying to integrate AI help without breaking the command-line workflow.

Appreciate the feedback as it evolves.

Get rid of this bit, so the user asks question, gets command.

Make it so the user can ask a follow up question if they want, but this is just noise, taking up valuable terminal space

Is it a locally running model?

It seems like a model is not included; you need to set an API endpoint in a configuration https://tmuxai.dev/getting-started#environment-variables

TIL that `head -5` is equivalent to `head -n 5`, and that's not in the manual

Just got this running. It took a minute to figure out "where the config file is" but once I got it set up with openrouter keys... wow! This plus speech to text = Look ma no hands!
