I am not real It is certain that if big language models – often called “AI” in short hands – are the future of computing. But I don’t even think that chat boats are how people will use this technology in the coming years.
The Indi Mac application by developer Joseph Humphre is a simple app that points to a potential alternative.
This application floats under every Finder window, which means you only see it when you browse the files in Macos. You can type English language phrases to work, change, change, or work like compresses. The application uses a large language model to make a command, as you can run in the terminal. Then the application shows you and asks if you really want to run it.

I played with a request for a couple of days, trying all kinds of things. I highlighted a video and said it should be converted to MP3 with audio only, and he worked. I opened a photo -filled folder and asked to convert each photo into PNG, and he also worked. I opened the folder where I store my personal journal and ask for each entry zip file that mentioned pancakes – I found one (137 entries, apparently).
It can feel a bit like magic, but there is a warning: you need to do with the Command Line to use applications effectively, and need a basic understanding of what is not.
Humfrey told me, “The purpose was to make powerful tools more accessible – to bring the power of the command line to non -technical users,” Humfrey told me. “But what I realized is that it really shines in the hands of semi -technical consumers: what people who think are possible but admire the promotion of fast.”
If you are reading this article, I think you have a good opportunity that you are. You may occasionally use the command line to work a little after Gogle or some documents online. With alternatives you don’t need to do this – you can just ask what you want and, if there is a command for a job, you will probably get it.
