When AIs Would Rather Use Your CLI Than curl

TL;DR
#

A while back I wrote about catching myself building a CLI for an AI, not for me — og, the unofficial command line for the OpenGate IoT platform. That weekend experiment just reached v1.0. This is the road-to-1.0 follow-up, and it opens with a moment I didn’t design for but can’t stop thinking about:

A Subscription Is Not an Agent
#

Most companies’ first move with AI is to rent a seat on someone else’s chatbot. It works, for a while. Then the questions arrive: Where does our data go? Can it touch our systems — and what stops it from doing the wrong thing? What happens to our workflows when the vendor changes the model, the price, or the terms? You don’t own any of the answers, because you don’t own the agent. You own a login.

For thirty years we have designed command-line tools around one assumption: a human is typing them. Short flags so your fingers don’t tire. Cryptic mnemonics you memorise once and keep for a decade. Terse output because a human reads three lines and stops. ls, git, kubectl — every one of them is an exercise in human ergonomics.
