Installation

npm install -g whiz_cli

Now, you will need to set OPENAI_API_KEY in your environment. You can do this by adding the following to your .bashrc or .zshrc. On windows, you can set this in the environment variables.

If you want to use a different model than gpt-3.5-turbo, then set WHIZ_LLM_MODEL to the model name. You can find a list of models here. As an example, you can set WHIZ_LLM_MODEL=gpt-4 to use the gpt-4 model.

export OPENAI_API_KEY=<your key>

🚀 Usage

Privacy

Whiz sends the following information to OpenAI:

  • Your OS platform (process.platform): 'android', 'darwin', 'linux', 'openbsd', or 'win32'.
  • Your CPU architecture (process.arch): 'x32', 'x64', 'arm', or 'arm64'.
  • Your shell path (process.env.SHELL).
  • Your request, so don't send any sensitive information.

No other environment information, such as filenames or file content, is sent to OpenAI.

Work with me

I am available for one fixed-price $300 paid trial covering a bounded TypeScript, AI integration, browser automation, or deployment task. The trial includes one real bug or small feature, focused verification, and a concise handoff note.
