AI Chat

TL;DR

Cmdop AI Chat lets you execute commands on remote machines using natural language. Type requests like “restart nginx on production server” and the AI translates them into shell commands. It supports multi-machine operations, provides safety confirmations for destructive commands, and remembers conversation context.
