Generative AI

The Problem with AI Terminals Today Every AI terminal tool works the same way: you describe what you want, the AI suggests a command, you copy it, alt-tab, paste it, run it, check the output, alt-tab back, describe the next thing. rinse and repeat. There is a cognitive cost to every context switch. When you are debugging a production issue at 2 AM, those seconds add up. A Different Approach: Shared PTY WinkTerm takes a different approach. Instead of suggesting commands in a separate chat window, the AI writes directly into your shell input line inside the same PTY session.
