So I built autocomplete.sh. It supports OpenAI, Grok, Claude and Local models like Ollama. Just install, select the model, enter API key and then when you type <tab><tab> it will return 3-5 suggestions on ways to do the task.

It puts into the context window things like recent command history, which environment variables are set (not the values!) and what type of shell it is so that the results are tailored. I do also try to remove things that look like passwords to keep the prompt free of PII. I also like that you can run locally using ollama or run things extremely fast (and free!) using Grok.

The script is GPT wrapper written entirely in bash and so it can be extremely portable.

It was fun to build and I recently showed it around the Boston Startup scene and people liked it. So I wanted to share it here before the weekend!

Let's face it, humans are great at organizing problems and hypothesing about the future, but we are terrible at quickly reasoning about complex interactions and finding patterns in highly noisy data.

One area I'm pretty excited about here is using better machine learning algorithms to organize global production, employment and trade data to improve out definitions of business cycles. We have relied on 'high-level stylized facts' to describe the complex and fascinating global economy for too long.
