Frequently Asked Questions

This page provides help with common questions about AIS hell.

What is AI Shell?

AI Shell is a platform that provides a framework for developers to build their own AI Agents and assistance providers for an AI Shell. Agents provide the user experience for the LLM and are deeply connected to PowerShell 7. For more about the architecture, see the shell/README.

What are agents?

An agent is a library that implements the user interface that talks to a specific language model or other assistance provider. Users can interact with these agents in a conversational manner, using natural language, to get the desired output or assistance. Currently, these are the supported agents:

Agent README files:

• openai-gpt
• ollama
• interpreter

An assistance provider is an agent that provides user assistance without using a language model or AI engine.

What operating systems are supported?

We have tested on macOS and Windows operating systems. AI Shell may work on linux but we haven't tested it can't guarantee that all features will work as expected.

How do I get a split pane experience in my Terminal?

The ability to run aish in a split pane depends on the capabilities of your terminal. For example, Windows Terminal can be split by running the following command: wt -w 0 sp. Refer to the documentation for your terminal application to see if it supports this feature.

Note

Not all terminal applications support this feature.
