Open Interpreter

A terminal-native AI agent that executes code, edits files, and automates system tasks locally.

Overview

Open Interpreter runs in your CLI and uses an LLM to write and execute Python, JavaScript, shell commands, and more in a secure local sandbox. It maintains conversation context, supports local models via Ollama or LM Studio, and integrates with file system and browser tools for end-to-end repo automation.
