Mint AI Agent lives in
Original: I built an AI Agent that lives directly in your CLI and Desktop
Short summary
Mint is an AI desktop assistant and CLI agent that eliminates tedious copy-pasting between your IDE and ChatGPT/Claude by autonomously reading files, searching code, fixing bugs, and applying patches—all with explicit user approval. Supports cloud models (Claude, Gemini, GPT-4o) and local alternatives (Ollama, LM Studio) for privacy, plus screen vision, real-time translation, and MCP extensibility.
