Microsoft has launched Intelligent Terminal, an open-source version of Windows Terminal that incorporates AI assistance directly into the terminal environment. This innovative tool allows users to select from various AI agents, including GitHub Copilot and Claude, to help explain errors, draft commands, and troubleshoot issues without leaving the terminal. Key features include automatic error detection, which identifies failed commands, and error suggestion, where the AI can propose fixes. A standout feature is the session management capability, enabling users to resume previous agent sessions, thus enhancing workflow efficiency. Users can easily configure their AI settings, and the terminal opens with an AI pane that provides a seamless experience. While Intelligent Terminal offers significant advantages, Microsoft acknowledges that it may not suit all users, which is why it remains a separate application not included with standard Windows installations. Interested users can download it from the Microsoft Store or GitHub.
