Ask HN: Is anybody working on AI-powered terminal emulators?

Hey guys! I’ve been playing with Warp and Wave, but I must admit there’s still much that could be improved with these kinds of apps.

Of course, Warp is the best app so far, but it’s also closed-source.

Wave is the next-best alternative, yet it has a terrible UX and very little AI integration in the workflow.

I still prefer Wave because it’s FOSS, but I wouldn’t mind seeing more in this space—things like true environment awareness. Not just next-command prediction or AI agents that can teach me how to write regex (which, admittedly, is already very useful).

What do you think? Is anyone working on this? Should I build it myself? What features would supercharge your workflow 100×?

I find myself switching to the terminal and tabbing expecting the right command to show up several times a day now. I would welcome such a thing

Cool, but it looks very Microsoft Oriented (Copilot, OpenAI, Azure).. I'm looking for something more "vendor-agnostic" if it makes sense, something that can help me with GCP,Azure,Aws and maybie also Hetzner, Linode and Digital Ocean.
