Elia

Elia is an open source terminal-based interface designed for interacting with large language models in a fast and efficient way. It runs entirely in the command line, offering a keyboard-driven experience that reduces the need for switching between apps. Users can chat with both proprietary models like ChatGPT and Claude, as well as local models such as Llama 3, Mistral, and Gemma. Elia stores conversations in a local SQLite database, making it easy to revisit past interactions. It supports flexible usage with inline and full-screen chat modes, along with simple configuration through a single file. Installation is straightforward via pipx, and users can customize themes, system prompts, and model settings. Elia is built for developers and power users who prefer a streamlined, terminal-first workflow for working with AI models.
