kobcli

KOB AI CLI is a command-line tool built by a Thailand-based developer that lets you interact with the KOB AI platform directly from a terminal. It is written in TypeScript and runs on the Bun runtime. You need a KOB AI account and API key to use it, and you can install it globally via npm or run it from the source code.

The default experience when you type kob with no arguments is a full-screen interactive terminal interface with three modes: Ask for quick questions, Plan for getting a step-by-step approach before writing code, and Code for generating code and optionally running shell commands automatically. You can switch between these modes with the Tab key or by pressing 1, 2, or 3.

For users who prefer single commands, the tool also works as a traditional CLI. You can send a one-shot question, start an interactive back-and-forth chat session, stream a response token by token as it generates, or ask the tool to write code in a specific programming language. Each of these commands accepts options for choosing a provider and model, with support for DeepSeek, OpenRouter, and DeepInfra as backends. Models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, and Qwen are accessible through those providers.

There are utility commands as well: check your account credentials and credit balance, list available models filtered by provider, and view available skills. The terminal output uses colors and formatting for readability.

The project is structured around a clear separation between the TUI interface and the individual commands, with a shared API client and configuration layer underneath. Adding new commands follows a documented pattern. The license is non-commercial open source, meaning personal and educational use is permitted but commercial use requires written permission from the owner.
