the useful middle layer

Close to the work. Clear about the risk.

Most AI tools make you leave the place where the work happens. HelloChusquis keeps the agent close—and makes every important step visible.

01 / context

Remember what matters

Bounded history, searchable sessions, summaries, and local SQLite memory keep context useful without turning every prompt into a transcript dump.

02 / reach

Bring your tools with you

Shell, code, files, browser, web search, and integrations live inside one conversation you can inspect as it unfolds.

one surface, many ways in

Start where you are. Keep going.

Use the same agent from the terminal, authenticated web interface, REST API, or Telegram. Your workspace stays coherent as the surface changes.

01

Terminal

Interactive work, planning, tools, and fast feedback.

02

Web interface

Streaming chat, voice controls, export, themes, and approvals.

03

REST API

Applications, automation, isolated sessions, and service integrations.

from zero to useful

A calm first command.

Install it, configure a provider, and start asking for concrete work. No new workspace to learn.
