prompt-os

Summary

PromptOS is a minimal, TUI-driven installer bootstrap that uses live LLM calls from providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or local Ollama to generate personalized, hardware-aware Linux installations on the fly. Instead of a static ISO or pre-baked distro, it acts as an intelligent orchestrator: boot a tiny live environment, connect your AI provider, answer high-level preference questions in a conversational wizard, and let the AI architect the exact package list, drivers, configs, and services for your chosen base (Arch, Ubuntu, Debian, and more). Built for DIY users who want an AI-native setup without the complexity of maintaining a custom OS, it compiles into a fully bootable disk image that flashes to USB or runs in QEMU, VMware, or VirtualBox.

Proof Points

• Pluggable LLM client abstraction supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and local Ollama via user-provided API keys
• AI generates a structured JSON installation blueprint that drives partitioning, chroot bootstrap installs, and config drops
• CI builds the real image and boots it in QEMU through GRUB into OpenRC, with emergency shell fallback and AI triage on boot failure
