What it does
oh-my-pi (omp) is an AI coding agent that runs in your terminal. It is a modified version of an open-source agent called Pi.
It connects to the same behind-the-scenes tools a code editor uses to understand a project, such as jumping to definitions and debugging, so the AI can work with that information. Its makers say it supports dozens of AI providers.
Its makers say they tune its editing and file-reading tools so that edits succeed on the first try with many different models.
