Local-first terminal-based AI coding assistant.

Daedalus connects to local LLM servers (LM Studio, Ollama, llama.cpp, vLLM) or remote providers (OpenAI, Groq, OpenRouter, Anthropic), routes requests across models, and gives your AI agent access to your file system, terminal, git, web search, and codebase indexing.

### Looking to build and sell your own AI CLI? Check out Daedalus-Lite — the zero-dependency, rebrandable TypeScript starter template designed for developers to build, rebrand, and sell their own custom AI coding tools! Visit Daedalus-Lite → Fun fact: Daedalus itself was built using Daedalus-Lite as a starting point, then extended with advanced features like multi-agent orchestration, codebase indexing, and autonomous workflows. See what's possible with Daedalus-Lite for inspiration.

Quick Start

npm install -g daedalus-cli
daedalus

To launch with the interactive terminal dashboard layout:

daedalus --tui

On first run, Daedalus scans for local LLM servers and guides you through setup. If none are found, it prompts for a remote provider.

From source: git clone https://github.com/bgill55/daedalus.git && cd daedalus && npm install && npm run build
