The Assistant

This AI Assistant is integrated into Ditana GNU/Linux and is able to interact with your computer. Optionally it is able to make use of Wolfram|Alpha to query real-time data if required. It provides both a GUI and a terminal interface.

Ditana Assistant is an innovative AI-powered application that combines a graphical user interface with terminal functionality and, optionally, introspective contextual augmentation via Wolfram|Alpha. Even without Wolfram|Alpha, the Introspective Contextual Augmentation (ICA) enhances AI responses in many cases (see Example Sessions for more details).

It leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) to provide intelligent assistance similar to the native browser interfaces of AI service providers.

The name stems from its integration into Ditana GNU/Linux, but it runs on other Linux distributions, macOS, and Windows (including PowerShell support).

Simply ask your question in natural language, for example

  • What are the largest files in the current directory and below? (see sample session)
  • Is the network name resolution service running stably? (see sample session)
  • Which process is consuming so much CPU time?
  • Replace all occurrences of the word ‘sun’ with ‘moon’ in the file ./project/test
  • What’s my current audio device?
