gptme is a personal AI assistant that runs in your terminal, with tools to use the shell, run code, edit files, browse the web and use vision. The README describes it as a great coding agent that is general-purpose enough to help with other tasks, and as an unconstrained local alternative to ChatGPT with Code Interpreter and Cursor Agent: not limited by missing software, internet access, timeouts or, with local models, privacy concerns.

Features listed include code execution with shell and Python tools, incremental edits with a patch tool, web browsing through Playwright, vision for images and screenshots, self-correction because tool output is fed back to the assistant, a lessons system that injects contextual guidance when relevant, several LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, or local llama.cpp), a web UI and REST API server, a computer-use tool for GUI applications, support for long-running persistent agents through an agent template, and smaller niceties such as piping context through stdin, pre-commit integration and local text-to-speech. The README notes its demos are from 2023 and out of date. GitHub shows no licence.

This write-up is based on the project's README and public repository data. We have not hand-tested the tool. Data as of 2026-10-25.

Trade-offs

!It runs shell commands and code on your machine, so use it in a sandbox or with care about what it is allowed to touch.
!The README says its demos are from 2023 and out of date, so they do not show current capabilities.
!GitHub shows no licence for the repository, and results depend on the model you connect.
