💡 Why I Built My Own AI Terminal Instead of Another Chatbot
Most AI tools today are designed to feel helpful, casual, or entertaining.
That’s fine — but I needed something different.
I needed a terminal.
So I built one.
🧠 Meet R3B3L 4F — A Sovereign AI Terminal
Not a chatbot. Not a clone.
This is a command-line AI system that:
- 🧠 Interacts with real-time web data (Bright Data MCP)
- 🔍 Extracts structured info from live pages
- 🖱️ Simulates clicks, form fills, scrolls, and site navigation
- 🧾 Stores memory and responds to CLI commands
- 📜 Boots with a terminal intro + searchable documentation
It’s not a gimmick — it’s a functional tool designed for real-world AI operations.
🛠️ Tech Stack
TypeScript • React • Tailwind • Node.js
Bright Data MCP • Netlify Functions • Puppeteer
Supabase • Custom CLI Parser
👨💻 Why I Built It
Because chatboxes aren't enough anymore.
I wanted:
- Full autonomy
- Command precision
- Something I could evolve without corporate scaffolding
So I built it.
From scratch.
As a terminal for creators, hackers, and agents of the future.
