PILOTApache-2.0 · TypeScript-first
Your AI crew, in the terminal.
Pilot is an open-source, local-first AI CLI — a React Ink terminal app with a plugin system, AI routing through the Vercel AI SDK, and machine setup. It is published as @medalsocial/pilot.
Install it, then live in it.

A plugin system
Plugins are declared in a plugin.toml and can contribute commands, MCP servers and permissions — so a plugin extends both what you type and what your agents are allowed to reach.
Connect it to a workspace
pilot connect pairs the machine with a Medal workspace by printing a short pairing code and opening the claim URL in your browser, then keeps a live connection open so the workspace can drive the machine.
Local-first by default
The knowledge base lives under ~/.pilot/, your crew is configured from AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md in the project, and telemetry stays on your machine.
