I have a problem with "AI in the terminal" tools.
They're almost all the same: a chat sidebar. You ask a question, the AI replies with "try this command", and you copy-paste. The AI never actually sees what your shell sees — it has no idea whether you're root, whether that command succeeded, what $PWD is, or what the error two lines up was. It's a knowledgeable friend you have to dictate everything to over the phone.
I wanted a friend who could just reach across and type.
So I built WinkTerm — an MIT-licensed AI terminal where the AI and I share the same PTY.
How it actually feels
