✨ Features

• Policies: set rules for AI interactions and tool usage
• Discovery: find and use inference providers and tools automatically
• Extensible: add plugins to extend functionality
• Multi-model support: support for different LLM inference providers (Google Gemini, LMStudio, Ollama, Ramalama)

🚀 Getting Started

The quickest way to get started is by exposing an API key from Google Gemini (export GEMINI_API_KEY=$YOUR_KEY) or by pulling one of the supported Ollama models.

Manual installation

You can also install the CLI manually by downloading a binary compatible with your OS from the latest release.
