ConsoleAI

A terminal AI assistant powered by OpenRouter — like Claude Code or Codex CLI, but built with .NET and Semantic Kernel.

dotnet tool install -g ConsoleAI
consoleai

On first run you will be prompted for your OpenRouter API key (free at openrouter.ai). It is saved locally and never asked again.

Features

  • Streaming chat — responses appear token by token as the AI thinks
  • Tool calling — AI can search the web, read/write files, and run shell commands
  • Long-term memory — save facts with SaveFact, recall them across sessions (SQLite)
  • Planner — /plan <task> breaks complex tasks into steps, shows them, asks confirmation before running
  • RAG — /load <folder> embeds your .txt/.md files; AI answers questions from them
  • Model switching — /model <name> switches to any OpenRouter model at runtime
  • Slash command menu — type / to see an interactive command picker
