Run ai init to create a basic ~/.airc.json config file with your OpenAI or Perplexity API key.

$ ai init

Read more about the configuration file format and available option.

Run ai [query] to start a chat with an AI assistant. You can put the question in the params.

$ ai "Tell me a joke"
me: Tell me a joke
ai: Why don’t skeletons fight each other? They don’t have the guts.

CLI options are passed when invoking the ai commend:

• --help: display available options
• --provider [name] (or -p [name]): select an inference provider to use
• --model [name] (or -m [name]): select a model to use
• --creative: respond in a creative way
• --precise: respond in a more accurate way

You need to have an API key for selected provider in your ~/.airc.json file.

See more info about the command line options.
