Gary is a Haskell-based AI assistant that runs in your terminal. It uses OpenAI's GPT-4.1 model to respond to your queries and can execute shell commands on your behalf. Think of Gary as your helpful intern who's surprisingly efficient and weirdly fast.

• Interactive terminal-based chat interface
• Executes shell commands on request
• Maintains conversation history
• Provides helpful responses using OpenAI's GPT-4.1 model

• Haskell (GHC 9.4 or later recommended)
• Stack build tool
• OpenAI API key

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/gary.git
   cd gary
   

2. Build the project using Stack:

   stack build
   

Before running Gary, you need to set your OpenAI API key as an environment variable:

export OPENAI_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here

You can add this to your shell profile file (.bashrc, .zshrc, etc.) to make it persistent.

Run Gary using Stack:

stack run

This will start an interactive session where you can chat with Gary. The prompt will show your current directory:

🛠️ gary>

Type your questions or commands and press Enter. Gary will respond and can execute shell commands when asked.

Ask Gary for information:

🛠️ gary> What's the current time?

Ask Gary to run a command:

🛠️ gary> List all files in the current directory

Ask Gary to help with a task:

🛠️ gary> Create a simple "Hello World" Haskell program
