Or it got stuck waiting for an approval. Or you can't remember which terminal window was running what.</p> <p><strong>I built an open-source AI operations terminal</strong> that gives every AI coding session an inbox — plus SSH, Kubernetes and databases in the same window.</p> <h2> Your AI coding sessions, in one inbox </h2> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fw5me60ryyod6hqk104t9.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fw5me60ryyod6hqk104t9.png" alt="AI session inbox" width="800" height="450"></a></p> <p>All external coding-agent sessions appear in one list with live status:</p> <ul> <li> <strong>Desktop notifications</strong> — when a session needs you (approval, feedback), it calls you. You don't have to watch AI work.</li> <li> <strong>Approvals in your hands</strong> — AI wants to write a file or run a command? Approve right from the sidebar.</li> <li> <strong>File previews on the right</strong> — see what the agent changed, without leaving the terminal.</li> <li> <strong>Full transcripts</strong> — view, search and revise the entire session later.</li> </ul> <p>Demo: AI writes a Snake game → two approvals → preview + transcript.</p> <h2> AI on remote hosts — zero install </h2> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fk36g8cm6zn1d0ztu9sp5.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fk36g8cm6zn1d0ztu9sp5.png" alt="Remote troubleshooting" width="800" height="450"></a></p> <p>Bind an AI agent to a bound SSH terminal and ask: "Check the system status of this remote host — CPU, memory, disk, load, and whether key services are healthy."</p> <p>The agent runs diagnostics by itself (<code>df</code>, <code>free</code>, <code>top</code>, <code>systemctl</code>, <code>uptime</code>), every command visible in the terminal. When it wants to run something system-changing, you approve. It can not only inspect — it can fix.</p> <p><strong>Zero install on the remote host</strong>: the AI drives commands through the terminal you already connected, so it works behind jump hosts and bastions.</p> <h2> The rest of the ops terminal </h2> <ul> <li>SSH with bastion sync (JumpServer) — double-click to connect from the workspace</li> <li>Kubernetes workspace — work with clusters from the terminal</li> <li>DB AI — natural language → SQL</li> <li>Local and remote file management</li> </ul> <h2> Open source, Apache 2.0 </h2> <p>Downloads for macOS / Windows / Linux: <a href="https://aiopsterm.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://aiopsterm.com</a><br> Source: <a href="https://github.com/TangGee/aiopsterm" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/TangGee/aiopsterm</a></p> <p>Star it if useful; issues and feedback are very welcome. It's 0.x — I want to hear from people who run multiple agents or manage fleets.</p> kubernetes opensource devops ai
