🚀 DevOrch: The Multi-Provider AI Coding CLI

Posted by DevegygiebyOL

Initial view

As a developer, I love working in the terminal. Fast, keyboard-driven, and distraction-free. But when it comes to AI coding assistants, most tools force you to switch UIs — web apps, IDE plugins, or proprietary apps.

So I built DevOrch, a Python CLI tool that unifies multiple AI providers in one place. Think of it as your personal terminal AI workstation.

🔹 What is DevOrch?

DevOrch is a command-line AI assistant that supports 15+ AI providers, including:

  • OpenAI (GPT‑4, GPT‑4o)
  • Anthropic (Claude)
  • Google Gemini
  • Mistral, Groq, Together AI, Copilot, Ollama, LM Studio, and more

All from a single CLI. No switching between websites or IDE plugins.

🔹 Key Features

  • Multi-provider support: Switch between AI providers seamlessly.

  • Interactive modes:

    • ask – get instant answers or code suggestions
    • plan – generate project plans or steps
    • auto – let DevOrch take actions across files or commands

  • Session persistence: Keep conversations alive between CLI sessions.

  • Secure API key storage: No more pasting keys every time.

  • Terminal-first experience: Fast, distraction-free, works entirely from the command line.

🔹 Why DevOrch?

  • For terminal lovers: If you live in Vim, Tmux, or your shell, this tool fits naturally.
  • Extensible: Adding new providers is easy. DevOrch was built to grow.
  • Portable: Install it with one command: 
pip install devorch

🔹 Quick Demo

# Start DevOrch
devorch

# Ask a coding question
ask "How do I implement a binary search in Python?"

# Plan a project
plan "Create a CLI tool to automate file backups"

# Auto mode for actions
auto "Update requirements and push changes to GitHub"

DevOrch will respond directly in your terminal, with clear outputs and suggestions.

🔹 Installation

pip install devorch

💡 Optional: Use pipx for isolated CLI installation: 

pipx install devorch

🔹 Community & Feedback

DevOrch is open-source: GitHub Repository
If you try it out, please star the repo ⭐, give feedback, or suggest new providers.

🔹 Stats & Early Adoption

Even in its first week, DevOrch has been downloaded 200+ times on PyPI — and the numbers are growing daily.

🔹 Next Steps

  • Add more AI providers
  • Improve async handling for faster responses
  • Integrate tooling like git, Docker, and linters
  • Add a plugin system so the community can extend DevOrch easily
