Microsoft Announces Open-Source "Intelligent Terminal"

Microsoft today announced their newest open-source creation... Under the MIT license it's the Intelligent Terminal.

Microsoft's Intelligent Terminal is a fork of the Windows Terminal code to add native AI agent integration. The Intelligent Terminal includes an agent status bar built into the terminal, an "agent pane: a context-aware, dedicated, configurable, docked pane with your agent CLI of choice", automatic error detection on commands, agent management support, and configurable with different AI agents.

Microsoft intends to continue maintaining the Windows Terminal for those that don't want this AI agent integration with the new Intelligent Terminal.

Those interested can learn more about the Intelligent Terminal via today's announcement. While open-source under the MIT license, Intelligent Terminal at the moment only supports Microsoft Windows. The code for those interested in it can be found on GitHub.
