Couldn't agree more, that is exactly why we built Buddy - an open source chrome extension with a cool cmdk interface to OpenAI's API. Everything runs locally (besides the API calls). HN post - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35299433 ,GitHub - https://github.com/INT-Calutt/buddy.


Thanks!


Hey @shahargl! We're definitely looking at adding more models and probably prioritizing users' requests. Any other models you'd like to see buddy support?


Yup, it is a ctrl/command+k-like. We just decided on cmd+b since many domains have their own cmd+k functionality that we don't want to override.


Cool project, but I agree "cmd+b" was pretty confusing, and meaningless to me (the closest shortcut I'm familiar with is my tmux leader command, which is ctrl+b).

I'd suggest rephrasing the readme to use the term "command palette," which I think is the more recognizable name for this functionality. Or maybe you could riff on the idea of "application launcher" by calling this a "prompt launcher."


Interesting, sounds like we need to go over how we present things and make sure it's clear. Thanks for the pro terms tips!


got it, thanks
