TUI vs CLI UX Patterns

The original KeyTUI (formerly Devi) began as a standard command-line interface. While functional for single-token retrieval, it created a 'Context Switch Penalty.' Developers had to stop their workflow, execute a command, and then use a mouse to highlight and copy terminal output. For a tool meant to accelerate development, the traditional 'Passive CLI' model became a friction point as the number of managed services increased.

The FRIDAY Cognitive Kernel

Traditional AI assistants rely on a 'Passive Request' model, where the system remains idle until a user provides a prompt. This creates a bottleneck of intent. For a Tony Stark-level assistant, the architecture must transition to an 'Active Perception' model—a system that maintains a continuous state of awareness and proactively intervenes in the user's workflow.

What People Say
