Ask HN: I can't remember the name of a AI CLI tool I saw a few weeks ago
5 points by explosion-s 284 days ago
I recall an AI CLI tool along the lines of opencode/goose/aider that was on HN recently, it had a newt/salamander icon and the company also hosts open models in an openrouter esque way. I can't for the life of me remember what that is - PLEASE help guys!! It was Claude API compatible I think but also supports other providers

Okay it turned out to be octocat - and that company offers a subscription service to open models as well. That explains my confusion because the image looks very amphibian like but it wasn't actually a newt or salamander or anything. I eventually found this because I recalled that it was a subscription, not just an open router s service
Octocat? You have a link? I get Github Github and more Github if I search.
I think they mean Octofriend (https://github.com/synthetic-lab/octofriend) from Syntethci Lab (https://synthetic.new/landing/home).
Yeah sorry that's what I meant. My apologies
go into your browser history and follow the time frame and trail. in firefox, the browser history is very detailed.
Google is your friend!8-))
I googled so much and found nothing I literally spent a full half an hour googling
Maybe do an "image" search with Google or DDG instead of searching for text, e.g.,

https://www.google.com/search?q=AI+CLI+TOOL+LOGO+NEWT+SALAMA...

or

https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=AI%2BCLI%2BTOOL%2BLOGO%2BNE...

or, as busymom0 suggested below, use the Hacker News search at the bottom of each HN page.
