Description
Terminal/shell AI assistant with main focus on making AI feel fast and native to the shell. Works over SSH and other interactive shell sessions. ATY builds context from your terminal input/output, and helps without dragging you into another app or making you pipe LLM context around.

Could you build this?
Partial Building a terminal UI wrapper is easy, but maintaining seamless real-time PTY interception, terminal emulation state parsing across SSH sessions, and low-latency interaction requires systems-level programming.
What it would actually take: The product requires a systems language (Rust or Go) interfacing directly with pseudo-terminals (pty/termios) to passively monitor and parse ANSI escape sequences, stdin/stdout streams, and shell states across local and SSH sessions without introducing input lag or corrupting the display. The challenging aspect is robust TUI interception, shell hook synchronization, and managing background LLM streaming into the active terminal buffer.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
