WaveTerminal AI is an open-source, cross-platform modern command-line terminal that deeply integrates an AI assistant and a graphical interface (such as an editor and a browser), bringing together multiple development tools into a customizable workspace to boost developers' productivity.
It supports macOS (Apple Silicon/Intel), Linux (various package formats), and Windows (Windows 10 1809 or newer, or Windows 11).
The terminal includes a context-aware AI assistant that can read terminal output. Users can configure and connect to multiple AI models, including OpenAI's ChatGPT, Anthropic's Claude, Azure OpenAI, Perplexity, and locally running Ollama models.
According to its open-source nature and official site, users can download and use WaveTerminal AI for free from the official site or GitHub.
It includes a built-in SSH connection manager that supports quickly adding, saving, and connecting to remote servers, clusters, or WSL, and allows browsing and editing remote files from within the terminal.
Yes. Users can drag and drop Blocks to freely assemble terminal windows, code editors, web browsers, and AI chat panels, create personalized layouts, and save/restore them.
Core terminal features work offline. If you want to use online AI models (like ChatGPT) or the built-in browser to browse the web, network connectivity is required. It also supports configuring local AI models (like Ollama) to run offline.
The key difference is the deep integration of an AI assistant and graphical apps. It is not just a command-line interface; it's an all-in-one workspace that blends AI-powered assistance, code editing, file previews, and web browsing to reduce switching between apps.
