Kel

What is Kel?

Kel is a free, open-source AI assistant that runs in the command line. It automates repetitive CLI tasks and brings AI capabilities directly into your terminal workflow.

The tool supports models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Ollama, along with OpenAI Assistants. You configure it with your own API keys for services like OpenAI and Anthropic, so the assistant works with the providers you already use.

A notable feature is file interaction: upload documents or artifacts directly to the assistant and chat with them, asking questions and drawing insights from your files.

Because Kel is open source, you can contribute to its development on GitHub. Full documentation is available on the main website, and support comes directly from the creators. Additional LLM support is planned for future releases.
