Our Take

Nanda and Sujal Kumar built Codentis for developers who never want to leave their terminal — it runs AI-powered workflows right from the command line instead of forcing you into a web dashboard. It's a niche play (not every dev wants to pipe AI prompts through bash), but if you're the type who'd rather `curl` than click around a UI, this cuts out the middleman entirely. Terminal-first AI tools are having a quiet moment on dev Twitter, and for CLI-maxxers, this hits different.

Run intelligent workflows directly in your terminal with AI-powered code generation, automated refactoring, and seamless tool integration
