Exa CLI: Exa from the command line

Exa in the terminal

Web search built for AI. We hold the key and meter it per tool, so there is nothing to set up.

Install the CLI, then connect Exa

GBrain holds the key for Exa, so there is nothing to sign in to. A key or a sign-in never passes through the terminal.

# Install the CLI
$ curl -sSL https://gbrainio.terminalwire.sh | bash

# Set the terminal up and connect it
$ gbrainio terminal connect

# What Exa is, and each of its commands once it is connected
$ gbrainio tool help exa

The installer is a shell script for macOS and Linux. Read it before you run it.
