🚀 Quick Start

Install globally via npm

npm install -g @krishivpb60/aether-ai-cli

Or run directly with npx

npx @krishivpb60/aether-ai-cli chat

Or install via pip (Python wrapper)

pip install aether-ai-agent-cli
# Run via terminal:
aether-pip chat

Setup (Interactive Wizard)

aether setup

The wizard walks you through configuring providers — start with free ones!

Or set keys manually

# Free providers (recommended to start)
aether config set GROQ_API_KEY gsk_your_key_here
aether config set GOOGLE_API_KEY AIza_your_key_here
aether config set OPENROUTER_API_KEY sk-or-your_key_here

# Paid providers
aether config set OPENAI_API_KEY sk-your_key_here
aether config set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY sk-ant-your_key_here

Start chatting

aether chat

Quick one-shot query

aether ask "Explain quantum computing in simple terms"

📦 Supported Providers

💡 Tip: Start with Groq (fastest, free) or Google Gemini (most capable free tier). You can configure multiple providers and Aether will automatically failover between them!

🎮 Commands

💬 Chat Commands

Inside interactive chat mode, use these slash commands:

🧠 Reasoning Modes

🔐 Security

• Your keys stay on YOUR machine — stored at ~/.aether/config.json
• No keys are bundled in the package
• No telemetry — zero data collection
• Keys are masked when displayed (aether config list)
• Environment variables also supported as fallback

🔄 Failover Mesh

Aether routes your prompt through all configured providers automatically:

Your Prompt
    ↓
[Provider 1] → Success? → Response ✓
    ↓ (fail)
[Provider 2] → Success? → Response ✓
    ↓ (fail)
[Provider N] → Success? → Response ✓
    ↓ (all fail)
[Krylo Companion] → Local Response ✓

If a provider returns an error (rate limit, quota, etc.), Aether automatically tries the next one. Configure multiple free providers for maximum resilience!

📁 File Attachment

Attach code files, logs, configs, or documents for context-aware responses:

# From CLI
aether ask "What's wrong with this code?" --file buggy.js

# In chat mode
/attach error.log
What errors are in this file?

Supported file types: .js, .ts, .py, .html, .css, .json, .md, .txt, .log, .yaml, .xml, .toml, .sql, .go, .rs, .java, .c, .cpp, .rb, .php, .swift, .kt, .dart, .vue, .svelte, .sh, .bat, .ps1, .env, .csv
