termique v0.5.0 adds a way to get an AI-generated command without leaving the terminal prompt, a new AI provider option for the custom endpoint, and a reworked AI Assistant panel that runs commands visibly instead of off to the side. A handful of smaller fixes round out the release.
The AI assistant in termique has always proposed commands you review and run yourself. This release closes the gap between typing in your terminal and asking the assistant for help: a suggestion pill now lives right at your cursor, and when the assistant runs something on your behalf, you see it happen in your actual terminal output.

An AI suggestion pill in the terminal
Previously, getting a command suggestion meant opening the AI Assistant panel, typing your question, and waiting for a full chat reply. Now you can trigger a suggestion pill directly at your terminal cursor with a keyboard shortcut (⌘I on Mac, Ctrl+Shift+I on Windows and Linux), type a short prompt, and get back one runnable command anchored right where you’re typing.
- Open the suggestion pill with a keyboard shortcut, no need to switch to the AI Assistant panel first
- The pill floats at your cursor and follows it as you type
- Accept the suggested command into your prompt, or dismiss the pill and keep typing
- Requests that need more than one command are declined with a short reason and a shortcut into the full AI Assistant panel
This is a narrower tool than the full assistant described in SSH manager with AI assistant: what works and what doesn’t: it only ever proposes one command, and never runs anything without you pressing run.
A new AI provider option
If you use termique with your own AI endpoint instead of the hosted default, there’s now a new provider option: 9Router. Add its endpoint and your API key in AI settings the same way you would for any other custom provider.
The AI Assistant panel docks in the terminal pane
The AI Assistant panel used to float over the whole window. It now docks inside whichever terminal pane you’re working in, sized to fit alongside your terminal instead of covering it.
- The assistant panel opens beside your terminal, not on top of it
- When the assistant runs a command on your behalf, the command and its output are now also shown in your terminal, not only inside the chat panel
Bug fixes
- Running a command from the inline suggestion pill now shows up in your terminal instead of running invisibly
- AI-run commands no longer fail outright on servers that only allow one active connection channel at a time
- Terminal and Files header buttons no longer shift position or disappear when switching between the terminal and file browser
- Tooltips no longer get clipped when shown inside a narrow panel, such as the AI Assistant sidebar
- The inline suggestion pill can now be dismissed without generating a suggestion first
