You might want to check out my open source project called engrim.

An anonymous developer released engrim, an open-source tool that lets users switch between major AI providers while preserving full project context across CLI sessions, reducing context drift and token usage. The project, launched on Hacker News, has reached 240 GitHub stars, and the developer says an enterprise version is in the works with outreach to select venture capitalists.

If you are deep in utilizing AI services (CLI) and want access to a really powerful tool, you should explore my open source program called engrim. I built it based on my own needs and recognized the power of sharing it with fellow developers. It solves some major headaches and honestly works incredibly well. I launched it on Hacker News last week and it gained traction quickly. Engrim allows you to do a few things well:

a. You can switch around major AI providers and have full project context the second you begin work seamlessly. With constant changes to services and people testing/changing their provider or using multiple- this is a powerful advantage for you... for FREE!

b. Because of context , you will find your sessions are "more intelligent" and "oriented". You will experience less drift and something everyone wants... more efficiency in your token/session limit allowance.

It recently hit 240 stars on git hub (thank you). There is a lot more to it than the ideas I listed however you will have to uncover those for yourself. I know those that find it will very much appreciate it.

There is an enterprise version in the works, I am reaching out to a select few VCs. Please feel free to get in touch if this project is of interest to you.
