doctorcli

Your AI Medical Specialist in the Terminal

What is doctorcli?

doctorcli is a user-friendly command-line tool that brings specialist-level medical AI directly to your terminal. It lets you chat with AI doctors from different specialties (like general medicine, cardiology, dermatology, pediatrics, and more), keep your conversations organized, and even use live research tools—all in a privacy-respecting, session-based workflow.

Why use doctorcli?

• Specialist AI agents: Choose the right expert for your needs.
• Easy session management: Start, resume, and organize your health conversations.
• Multiple AI providers: Use OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, Groq, Ollama, LM Studio, and more.
• Attach research tools: Add Wikipedia or Tavily for live lookups.
• No cloud lock-in: Use local or cloud models.
• Your data, your control: All chats and settings are stored locally.

How was it built?

doctorcli is built in Python and designed for reliability, privacy, and extensibility. It uses a modular architecture with support for multiple AI providers and research tools, and a rich terminal interface for a smooth user experience.

How do I install it?
