tldrai 0.2.3

CLI tool to give quick step-by-step answers to tech questions. Powered by the LLMs and StackOverflow.

TLDR AI CLI Tool

Overview

TLDR AI CLI Tool is a command-line interface (CLI) designed to provide quick and efficient solutions to complex queries using Large Language Models (LLMs). The tool integrates various AI models to fetch, process, and summarize information from sources like Stack Overflow.

The TLDR AI CLI Tool is inspired by howdoi. Unlike howdoi, this tool leverages the power of LLMs and can even work offline if Stack Overflow is not used.

Features

• Summarizes complex topics into concise, understandable summaries.
• Fetches and processes Stack Overflow questions and answers.
• Utilizes multiple LLMs, including Ollama and other transformers.
• Configurable via YAML files.
• Supports real-time response streaming.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8+
• Ollama

Install Ollama

Ollama is required for some functionalities of this tool. Please install Ollama according to your operating system by following the instructions provided in their Documentation.

Install TLDR AI CLI Tool

You can install the TLDR AI CLI Tool via pip:

pip install tldrai

Usage

To use the tool, simply run:

tldrai apply function to pandas column

You can also override specific configuration settings using the --set argument:

tldrai apply function to pandas column --set summarization_pipeline.model=stable-code precision=float32 -v

CLI Options

• question: The question or query to process.
• --config: Path to the configuration file (default: config/config.yaml).
• --set: Override configuration key-value pairs (e.g., key=value).
• -v, --verbose: Output all logs verbose.
• -s, --search: Search for similar quetions on Stack Overflow and feed it to the model as suggestions

Configuration

The TLDR AI CLI Tool is highly configurable. Configuration settings are managed through YAML files. Currently, the default configuration file used is config/ollama_stable_code.yml.

Forming questions

I found two distinct ways to form the questions, depending on if you use StackOverflow search or not:

• Without searching StackOverflow I found it more useful to form a full sentence (without the 'how to' part), for example tldrai solve \'ModuleNotFound\' error
• To search StackOverflow (using the -s or --search flag) it's better to form a question as if you wanted to google it, for example tldrai \'ModuleNotFound\' -s

The examples are simply for illustrative purpose and sometimes the question can be formed that simultaneously satisfies the both ways.
