🤖 AI assistant ​

A helper in the SSH tab that answers questions, explains error messages and suggests commands – you run them yourself.

What it does for you

  • You get an understandable explanation of cryptic error messages.
  • You don't have to know commands by heart – just describe what you want.
  • Nothing happens without you: the assistant suggests, you decide.

Who it is for: Anyone who works with the SSH tab – especially Linux beginners.
What you need: Two-factor sign-in. The assistant is being enabled step by step; there is a daily message limit.

The screen says “Permission denied (publickey)” or “No space left on device” – and you have no idea what to do now. Ask the assistant.

How it works ​

In the 🖥 SSH tab you open the 🤖 AI assistant as a sidebar. It is an artificial intelligence (a language model) that knows a lot about Linux, Windows and servers. You write to it in normal language, for example “How do I see how much space is free on the server?”. It answers with an explanation and suitable commands.

Safe

the assistant doesn't run anything itself. With “⌨ Paste” a suggested command lands in the terminal, but without Enter – you read it and decide. Passwords and keys are removed from everything before it goes to the AI.

Using it ​

  • Input at the bottom, Enter sends, Shift+Enter makes a new line.
  • 📎 attaches selected output from the terminal – for example an error message.
  • 🗒 starts a new conversation.
  • 🧠 shows what the assistant has remembered about you (for example “uses Debian”) – with “Forget everything”.
  • You see the daily limit at the top.

Using the assistant on your own computer ​

With 🔗 you get a pairing code (valid for 10 minutes) and a command for Linux/macOS or Windows PowerShell. After that you start the assistant there in the terminal with dasding-ki – without your own AI account. Paired computers can be “Unpaired” at any time.

Can I rely on the answers?

Mostly, but not always. An AI can be wrong. Read commands before running them – especially those that delete something (rm) or start with sudo. If in doubt, ask: “What exactly does this command do?”
