Assistant Shell: Client-Side AI Chat
Learn how I built a client‑side AI chat PWA using only AI assistants, without any backend code, with a live demo and development insights.
What if you could build an entire AI-powered web chat app without writing a single line of code yourself?
That’s exactly what I did!
Assistant Shell 🤖🐚 is a sleek, no-install AI chat app that lets you talk to every major AI Assistant – OpenAI’s GPTs, Anthropic’s Claude, Google’s Gemini, even local models via Ollama, and even more.
You just drop in your API keys, tweak your settings, and boom – you’re chatting with AI on your terms.
But here’s the real kicker: I built the whole thing using only AI Assistants.
Every bit of code of Next.js, TypeScript, TailwindCSS was written with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Continue, and Cline.
Furthermore, the app has no backend, no server storing your conversations, no other data collection – just pure, client-side AI magic.
Last but not least, this web app is also a PWA so you can “install” it with one click on any device!
Assistant Shell provides a command-line interface for AI assistant interaction.
Browser PWA unifies multi-model AI, local keys, instant switching, no subscriptions.
