You - Your Optimized UNIX, but also supports Windows

you is a command-line tool that translates natural language instructions into executable shell commands, making command-line operations more accessible and intuitive.

Features

• Natural Language Command Execution: Type what you want to do in plain English, or any other natural language you prefer, and let the AI figure out the exact commands
• Interactive Workflow: Review suggested commands before execution
• Error Handling: When commands fail, the AI automatically suggests fixes based on error messages
• Semi-Autonomous Operation: The AI handles the technical details while keeping you in control

Installation

cargo install you
