We're building Linux that understands natural language commands.

Example: "Install Oracle 23 AI with GPU acceleration" → System detects your hardware, installs correct CUDA version, configures everything, validates it works. Done in 5 minutes.

Problem: Developers waste 30% of their time fighting package managers and reading documentation.

Solution: Embed AI at the OS level. The system understands intent and optimizes for your hardware.

Open source, seeking contributors. We have 3 initial issues ready for PRs.

Tech stack: Ubuntu 24.04, Claude/GPT-4 for intent parsing, Firejail sandboxing, Python orchestration.

Feedback welcome - what would you want an AI-powered OS to handle?

Agreed.

That is not the solution. Determinism is the goal; introducing AI will create more problems than it fixes.
