ShellMate is really shaping up to be an essential tool for any developer using Mac Terminal! The ability to detect and fix errors on the fly is a huge time-saver, and the way it can suggest the next command is a neat touch that really keeps your workflow smooth. I love that it’s built specifically for those of us who prefer to keep our hands on the keyboard rather than hopping over to other apps for help.
The interactive aspect, where you can highlight text to get ShellMate’s attention, feels super intuitive and takes the frustration out of debugging. Plus, it’s great to see you’re open-sourcing it and inviting contributions from the community! I can definitely see potential for integrating even more intelligent suggestions or even learning from frequent tasks. Looking forward to seeing how ShellMate evolves!

This is really intriguing, @sodio! ShellMate sounds like a game changer for anyone living in the Terminal. I mean, who hasn’t felt the pain of a syntax error when you’re just trying to get things done? The whole idea of having a supportive AI buddy that suggests not only fixes but the next command is genius!
Open sourcing it is a great move; it’ll be cool to see how the community contributes to its evolution. I can already envision it being a part of every dev's workflow—no more mouse reach for me! Can't wait to test it out and see if it really keeps me in the flow. Looking forward to seeing the growth and any new features that come out of this! 💻
Literally made Terminal a magical experience. I asked it for an impressive command and it gave me telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl which then proceeded to play Star Wars right in the Terminal lol
Congrats on launching ShellMate, @sodio! This looks like a game-changer for Mac Terminal users. The seamless AI integration for error handling will definitely boost productivity. Excited to see how the community contributes to its development. Can't wait to try it out! Upvoted!
I use this daily (Sam let me try it early since we work in the same incubator's offices) and it gives me helpful terminal suggestions without getting in the way.

SheIIMate is a lifesaver ! Being able to ask for commands right in the terminal has saved me so much time .

This is exactly what the Terminal needed! As a fellow dev, I always find myself troubleshooting errors and losing my focus. ShellMate sounds like the perfect companion to keep that coding flow uninterrupted. Love that it’s open-source too - can't wait to dive in and contribute! 🖥️ @sodio, you’re onto something awesome here! Let’s ship it!
For developers, everything starts and ends in Terminal. You want to keep your hands on the keyboard, not reach for your mouse to go to ChatGPT. This is why we built ShellMate (at first, just for ourselves). It’s for devs that still use the Mac Terminal (like we do) and want an easy way to layer in AI assistance.
Shellmate gives you dynamic error correction and guidance seamlessly in the Mac Terminal while keeping you in the flow. You can:
- Use ShellMate to detect & fix errors.
- Ask ShellMate questions about your Mac Terminal context.
- Highlight text to call Shellmate's "attention" to a particular issue.
I hope you’re as excited about it as I am. I’d love your help in developing it further, which is why we’re open sourcing it. Contributions welcome!
Thanks for your interest and let me know what you think!
