AI Without vs With Termitty
❌ Without Termitty
# AI struggles with basic tasks subprocess.run(['ssh', 'server', 'deploy.sh']) time.sleep(60) # Hope it's done? # Can't handle prompts # No idea if it worked # Can't debug failures
✅ With Termitty
# AI has full control session.execute('./deploy.sh', wait=False) session.wait_until(OutputContains('Success')) # Handle any prompt if session.expects_input(): ai_response = ai.decide(session.get_state()) session.send_line(ai_response)
10x
Faster AI deployments
100%
Prompt handling success
Zero
Manual intervention needed
