What is aiti

aiti (pronounced /aiti/, a homophone of "achoo" — "AI development as simple and natural as a sneeze") is an AI development tool ecosystem powered by pi as its engine, composed of three product lines:

Brand and Identity

Item	Value

One-liner	AI development as simple and natural as a sneeze

Three Lines

Line A: aiti-agent — The Main Web Battleground

A self-hosted personal AI development workbench powered by pi. Built on top of the open-source project pi-web, with an independent product identity (for its backstory see Project Origins).

• The browser is the primary operating surface; one-click start with docker run (same-origin compatible with pi: pi CLI / pi IDE extensions operate the same set of sessions)
• The ecosystem's only service-tunnels (HTTP vhost + TCP tunneling + TOTP) and queue crash recovery
• Roadmap: built-in terminal → Chrome CDP remote debugging → CLI bridging → noVNC desktop → tool marketplace

Line B: aiti-devtools — The Local Injection Ecosystem

Bringing AI to the page-development front line. Embeds into each mainstream dev tool (Vite / Vue / Next / React / Svelte), local injection:

• Injects the aiti-devtools mini client + a floating Inspector UI + a CDP-like command set of 47 commands across 8 domains
• Framework source locating: React/Next/Vue/Svelte dev builds → {framework, file, line}
• Three forms: proactive adaptation (script include) / Chrome extension / IDE plugin

Line C: aiti-bridge — AI Agent Retrofit

A bridging-layer product with three core jobs:

1. Configuring aiti-devtools usage: bridge address/token/pageId, minimal configuration
2. Retrofitting AI agents: giving Claude Code / Cursor / built-in IDE AI the ability to operate the page and ask the user questions
3. Reaching the IDE AI window directly: supports plugins like aiti-devtools, aiti-devtools-vscode/idea (idea planned) to complete the injection, delivering messages straight to the AI agent window inside the IDE via aiti-bridge

Relationship with pi / pi-web

Relationship	Description
pi = engine	earendil-works/pi is the execution kernel (daily releases, managed by mise); aiti accepts this dependency
pi-web = starting point	agegr/pi-web is the open-source web shell we build on (including the ecosystem's only service-tunnels / queue recovery); independent product identity — for the full story see Project Origins
Competitor forks	jmfederico (different stack, not mergeable), PiClaw (competes on positioning, not features), omp (long-term dual-engine option)
