vyai

I got tired of using curl to make API calls to Gemini just to have an "AI" in my terminal. I wanted something that could also maintain context. The web felt and is bloated, so I built this snazzy CLI tool instead.

Usage

1. Get a Gemini API key from ai.google.dev.
2. Export the key as an environment variable:

export GOOGLE_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

3. Install the application

Arch Linux

You can install vyai from the AUR using an AUR helper like yay or paru:

yay -S vyai
# or
paru -S vyai

Else you can install it manually using git and makepkg:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/vyai.git 
cd vyai
makepkg -si

Windows

On Windows you can install it using scoop

# First add the bucket 
scoop bucket add vybraan https://github.com/vybraan/bucket
#Then Install it
scoop install vyai

Manually / From Source

1. Clone the repository:

3. Run the application using:
```bash
make run

or

go run cmd/main.go

Distro specific packages
