Hi Product Hunt! I'm Dmitri from Vega LLC, maker of AITerm.
I built AITerm because I kept leaving the terminal to look up the same commands, and most AI terminals either want an account first or run things on their own. AITerm is a real native Mac terminal (your shell, SSH, tabs, splits, saved workspaces) with AI as a helping hand, not the driver:
- Ask in plain English, then review or edit the command before it runs
- /fix suggests a next step after an error; /explain walks through output
- Your AI, your call: local models through Ollama (stays on your Mac, works offline), your own OpenAI/Anthropic/Gemini/OpenRouter key, or (Pro) your Claude or ChatGPT subscription
- Common secret patterns are redacted before anything leaves your Mac
- Pro adds runbooks with variables and an agent that shows its plan, previews every file write, and can undo the last step
The core terminal is free forever, no account or card. First launch includes a 14-day Pro trial.
What I'd love feedback on: what would make you switch your daily terminal, and which safety checks feel right vs. in the way?
