Hands on with Intelligent Terminal, an AI-powered Windows Terminal

Microsoft has created an open-source fork of Windows Terminal called "Intelligent Terminal," and it allows you to use AI directly inside Terminal without interfering with the regular session. [...]

Why this matters
Why now

The proliferation of advanced AI models has driven a demand for more integrated and intuitive ways to interact with AI, pushing software developers to embed AI capabilities directly into core tools.

Why it’s important

This marks a key step in the pervasive integration of AI into fundamental developer and IT infrastructure tools, potentially boosting productivity and shifting how computational tasks are performed.

What changes

Developers and system administrators can now directly leverage AI within their terminal environment, streamlining workflows and accelerating automation and problem-solving without context switching.

Winners
  • · Microsoft
  • · Developers
  • · AI software providers
  • · Productivity software sector
Losers
  • · Command-line tool vendors (non-AI integrated)
  • · Training/documentation services for traditional terminal use
Second-order effects
Direct

Increased adoption of AI tools by developers for routine and complex tasks.

Second

Accelerated development of AI-powered features in other developer tools, setting a new standard for integration.

Third

Potential for a 'democratization' of advanced system administration capabilities, as AI assists less experienced users, but also a dependency on AI for critical infrastructure management.
