New way to interact with Systems
What is NLEX?
Ever wish you could just tell your computer what to do, like you're just talking to it naturally? Now you can, with NLEX!
NLEX is your intelligent command-line assistant. Developed by Pewrie Bontal and written in Go, it cleverly operates between your terminal and your chosen shell. Its core mission: to translate your plain English instructions into executable shell commands.
To achieve this, NLEX uses an AI model. This allows it to accurately interpret your intent and generate the precise commands for your operating system, letting you interact with your system more intuitively than ever before.
