Did you get ChatGPT to help you write this and is one of your main use cases generating bash commands? (Code writing code, there’s a total feedback loop happening here) I did too but wrote mine in Python. A compiled language would be much faster and using their streaming function I’m yet to implement. Any other ways you can increase the speed?

I don't think language would matter much as the primary delay is getting a response from OpenAI apis. The advantage of Rust (or other similar language) is you get a simple single executable. Otherwise Python is completely fine.

I basically use this any time that I am in the terminal already and have a question that I think could reasonably be formatted fine there. I'd say, I use it for 30% (conservatively) of my ChatGpt queries. Naturally the web interface is way better for lots of stuff, but sometimes breaking out of a terminal session is jarring.
