+# AI-Powered Terminal Assistant
+
+This script provides an AI-powered terminal assistant for Linux environments. It offers a choice between normal terminal usage and an AI chat interface that can help with commands, scripting, and other terminal-related tasks.
+
+## Features
+
+*   **Interactive AI Chat:** Engage with an AI (via OpenRouter) to get help with terminal commands, scripting, and troubleshooting.
+*   **Command Suggestions:** The AI can suggest commands, which you can then choose to run directly or copy to your clipboard.
+*   **Personalized Greeting:** Greets the user with their Linux username.
+*   **Easy to Launch:** Designed to be easily integrated for launch on every terminal start (e.g., with oh-my-zsh).
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+*   Python 3.6+
+*   `pip` (Python package installer)
+*   `git` (for cloning the repository)
+*   An OpenRouter API Key
+
+## Installation
+
+1.  **Clone the repository:**
+    ```bash
+    git clone https://github.com/overspend1/ai-powered-terminal.git
+    cd ai-powered-terminal
+    ```
+
+2.  **Install Python dependencies:**
+    ```bash
+    pip install requests pyperclip
+    ```
+    *   `requests`: For making API calls to OpenRouter.
+    *   `pyperclip`: For copying suggested commands to the clipboard. You might need to install a backend for it on Linux, e.g.:
+        ```bash
+        sudo apt-get install xclip
+        # or
+        sudo apt-get install xsel
+        ```
+
+3.  **Configure your API Key:**
+    Open the `ai_terminal.py` script in a text editor.
+    Find the line:
+    ```python
+    OPENROUTER_API_KEY = "your_api_key_here" # Replace with your actual key
+    ```
+    Replace `"your_api_key_here"` with your actual OpenRouter API key. **Do not commit your API key to any public repository if you fork this project.**
+
+## Usage
+
+1.  **Make the script executable:**
+    ```bash
+    chmod +x ai_terminal.py
+    ```
+
+2.  **Run the script:**
+    ```bash
+    ./ai_terminal.py
+    ```
+    You will be greeted and presented with a menu to either use the normal terminal or start an AI chat session.
+
+### Integrating with Oh My Zsh (or other shells)
+
+To have the assistant launch every time you open a new terminal with Oh My Zsh, you can add the script to your `.zshrc` file.
+
+1.  Open your `.zshrc` file (usually located at `~/.zshrc`):
+    ```bash
+    nano ~/.zshrc
+    ```
+
+2.  Add the following line at the end of the file, replacing `/path/to/your/script/` with the actual absolute path to where you cloned the `ai-powered-terminal` repository:
+    ```bash
+    # Launch AI Terminal Assistant
+    if [[ -z "$AI_TERMINAL_ACTIVE" ]]; then
+        export AI_TERMINAL_ACTIVE="true"
+        /path/to/your/script/ai-powered-terminal/ai_terminal.py
+        unset AI_TERMINAL_ACTIVE # Clean up for subsequent shells in the same session if needed
+    fi
+    ```
+    The `AI_TERMINAL_ACTIVE` environment variable check is a simple way to prevent the script from re-launching itself if it exits and returns to a shell that would otherwise re-trigger it (e.g., if you choose "Use normal terminal" which exits the script).
+
+3.  Save the file (Ctrl+O, Enter, then Ctrl+X in nano) and reload your zsh configuration:
+    ```bash
+    source ~/.zshrc
+    ```
+    Now, every new terminal session should start with the AI Terminal Assistant.
+
+## AI Model
+
+Currently, the script is configured to use `deepseek/deepseek-r1-0528` via OpenRouter. You can change this by modifying the `AI_MODEL` variable in `ai_terminal.py`.
