Bash Terminal Tool - Run Commands from AI
Executes bash commands directly on your Mac. Instead of copying AI-generated commands and pasting them into Terminal, the AI runs them for you and shows the output inline. It handles everything from simple one-liners to complex piped commands and scripts.
What It Does
Executes bash commands directly on your Mac. Instead of copying AI-generated commands and pasting them into Terminal, the AI runs them for you and shows the output inline. It handles everything from simple one-liners to complex piped commands and scripts.
Why It Matters
Most AI assistants tell you what command to run, then you have to open Terminal, paste it, fix any issues, and go back to the AI for help. Chapeta's Bash tool closes that loop - the AI writes the command, runs it, reads the output, and adjusts if something goes wrong. One prompt can replace a 10-minute terminal session.
Example Prompts
Find all files larger than 100MB on my Mac Kill all Chrome processes that are using more than 1GB of memory Create a Python virtual environment in this folder and install requests and pandas Show me which process is using port 3000 and kill it Compress all PNG files in ~/Desktop into a single zip archive Check if my Homebrew packages are up to date and list what needs updating Example Output
$ find / -size +100M -type f 2>/dev/null /Users/you/Library/Caches/com.spotify.client/Data/... /Users/you/Downloads/project-backup.zip (234MB) /Users/you/.docker/data/vms/0/data/Docker.raw (4.2GB) Found 3 files over 100MB. The Docker virtual disk is the largest at 4.2GB.
Safety & Control
Every bash command requires your explicit approval before execution. Chapeta shows you the exact command it wants to run and waits for confirmation. You can set auto-approve for safe commands (like ls, cat, find) while keeping confirmation for destructive operations (rm, mv, chmod). The tool runs in your user context - it has the same permissions you do, nothing more.
vs Other AI Apps
ChatGPT, Claude Desktop, and Gemini can all generate terminal commands - but none of them can actually run those commands on your Mac. You're left copying, pasting, and troubleshooting manually. MacGPT and BoltAI also lack command execution. Chapeta is the only Mac AI app that closes the loop between 'here's a command' and 'it's done.'
