Opperator Terminal UI Opperator is a terminal-first framework for building and operating AI agents. Agents run locally on your computer with direct access to your files, local AI models, and personal data. Code them once and they automate the tasks that are uniquely yours. LLMs are now good enough to write focused, targeted code for any task you throw at them. That means every workflow you have can be automated. Opperator gives you the runtime to run that code, a managed system to operate it, and a customizable TUI to control it all from one place. Most AI tools are generic. But your work isn’t. You have custom tasks that Claude or ChatGPT alone can’t handle. Opperator lets you build agents that know your email, integrate with your tools, work with your documents, and automate the workflows nobody else has.

Why use Opperator

Building AI agents today requires solving problems that have nothing to do with your actual workflow:
  • Where do agents live? How do you manage their runtime?
  • How do you handle boilerplate and scaffolding?
  • Where do you store API keys and secrets?
  • How do you debug agents when something breaks?
  • How do you test changes without constant restarts?
Opperator is a managed system that solves all of this for you. Agents run locally under a built-in daemon. Code is generated from templates. Secrets are managed securely. Everything is debugged from one terminal UI. You iterate without restarting. You focus on the actual workflow, not the infrastructure.
