I let an LLM use my TUI like a user. It found multiple UX bugs (github.com)

A new AI-driven command-line interface tool called Clingon has been released, allowing users to execute shell commands with the assistance of an AI that functions like a user. Designed for macOS users with zsh or bash, Clingon operates within its own terminal window and requires minimal setup. Users can issue tasks to the AI, which navigates the command line interface, fills in command details, and checks for risky actions before executing them. Clingon also offers a feature that enables users to chain commands into recipes, enhancing productivity. This innovation is significant for the AI/ML community as it demonstrates the potential of AI in automating complex command-line operations, thus minimizing barriers for users less familiar with shell commands. Clingon operates directly with user configurations and maintains a separate history, ensuring it doesn’t interfere with existing setups. It collects no telemetry data and only connects online to check for updates. With 20 built-in command packs covering tools like Git, Docker, AWS, and PostgreSQL, Clingon represents a step forward in user-friendly AI applications within technical environments, making advanced command use more accessible to a broader audience.
