I don’t think CHATGPT has gone unnoticed by anyone here on Hackernews. I’ve myself played around a bit with it, but felt it was annoying to always have to log into their GUI to ask the questions.

To scratch my own itch and at the same time learn more about how to write my own command line interface, I created 'askai'. 'askai' is a simple CLI integration with OpenAI’s GPT3 models. I’ve primarily used it to get quick answers to technical questions, like:

> askai "How to mock user input when writing a Python pytest test?"

> askai "How do I remove a conda environment?"

As I've found it quite helpful, I decided to spend some time to package it in a nicer way to share it with all of you. I've also uploaded it to PyPI to simplify the installation process.

'askai' enables you to:

    * Ask questions and get the answers straight into your terminal

    * Configure which model and model parameters you want to use

    * Overwrite saved configurations when you ask questions

I hope some of you find it useful :)
