Webbee 🐝 — the coding agent in your terminal

Webbee is the Imperal Cloud coding agent, in your terminal. It reads, writes, and runs code in your working directory — while the brain runs in the cloud on ICNLI, the open protocol behind Webbee. No model keys on your machine. Swap the model underneath and it behaves the same, because the safety was never in the model.

The model proposes. The kernel decides. The key — delete, drop, wipe — stays with you.

Install

pipx install webbee          # recommended — or:  uv tool install webbee

Plain pip works too, inside a virtualenv:

python3 -m venv .venv && . .venv/bin/activate && pip install webbee

On Ubuntu/Debian a global pip install is blocked by the system (that's PEP 668, not webbee) — use pipx or a venv. No Python on the box? curl -LsSf https://webbee.imperal.io/install.sh | sh.

Use

webbee            # start the agent in the current directory
webbee login      # sign in — shows a code + URL to open in any browser

Type in plain English. Webbee reads your files, runs commands, and reaches your connected Imperal apps — mail, notes, tasks, and more — to get the job done. /help lists the commands: /login /logout /mode /cost /status /clear /exit.

Modes — you hold the key

Cycle with Shift + TAB:

• default — Webbee does the small, reversible stuff herself. Anything she can't undo, she stops and asks you first.
• plan — read-only. She plans and reads; she touches nothing.
• autopilot — she acts without asking. (Spending money always needs a browser approval — no terminal reply can release it.)

How it works

Your machine runs the hands — read, write, edit, run. The brain runs in the Imperal Cloud and reasons over your files, your history, and your connected apps through ICNLI. The model is a replaceable proposer at the edge; the kernel resolves, grounds, and decides. Webbee reads your facts. She doesn't invent them.
