jebi: A Mac terminal with built-in local AI for error explanations and command suggestions
By
Jawahar Selvaraj
Summary
jebi is a Mac terminal application that integrates local AI directly into the terminal experience. It runs entirely on-device using models like Qwen, Phi-3, and Gemma — no API keys, subscriptions, or cloud dependency. After commands, it suggests next steps; after errors, it explains them in plain English. It also features a visually polished interface with split panes, tabs, custom themes, and slash commands. The AI stays silent unless needed, aiming to enhance rather than interrupt workflow.

· 4 pulledI built jebi because I was tired of alt-tabbing to Google every time a command failed or I forgot a git flag.
The hardest part was keeping it out of the way. Most AI tools interrupt your flow.
jebi only speaks up after an error (to explain it) or after a command (to suggest what's next). Otherwise it stays silent.
All AI runs on-device with Qwen, Phi-3, and Gemma — your commands never leave your Mac.
