🚀 DevOrch: The Multi-Provider AI Coding CLI

Amanpreet Singh — Sun, 08 Mar 2026 11:47:02 +0000

As a developer, I love working in the terminal. Fast, keyboard-driven, and distraction-free. But when it comes to AI coding assistants, most tools force you to switch UIs — web apps, IDE plugins, or proprietary apps.

So I built DevOrch, a Python CLI tool that unifies multiple AI providers in one place. Think of it as your personal terminal AI workstation.

🔹 What is DevOrch?

DevOrch is a command-line AI assistant that supports 15+ AI providers, including:

OpenAI (GPT‑4, GPT‑4o)
Anthropic (Claude)
Google Gemini
Mistral, Groq, Together AI, Copilot, Ollama, LM Studio, and more

All from a single CLI. No switching between websites or IDE plugins.

🔹 Key Features

Multi-provider support: Switch between AI providers seamlessly.
Interactive modes:
- ask – get instant answers or code suggestions
- plan – generate project plans or steps
- auto – let DevOrch take actions across files or commands
Session persistence: Keep conversations alive between CLI sessions.
Secure API key storage: No more pasting keys every time.
Terminal-first experience: Fast, distraction-free, works entirely from the command line.

🔹 Why DevOrch?

For terminal lovers: If you live in Vim, Tmux, or your shell, this tool fits naturally.
Extensible: Adding new providers is easy. DevOrch was built to grow.
Portable: Install it with one command:

pip install devorch

🔹 Quick Demo

# Start DevOrch
devorch

# Ask a coding question
ask "How do I implement a binary search in Python?"

# Plan a project
plan "Create a CLI tool to automate file backups"

# Auto mode for actions
auto "Update requirements and push changes to GitHub"

DevOrch will respond directly in your terminal, with clear outputs and suggestions.

🔹 Installation

pip install devorch

💡 Optional: Use pipx for isolated CLI installation:

pipx install devorch

🔹 Community & Feedback

DevOrch is open-source: GitHub Repository
If you try it out, please star the repo ⭐, give feedback, or suggest new providers.

🔹 Stats & Early Adoption

Even in its first week, DevOrch has been downloaded 200+ times on PyPI — and the numbers are growing daily.

🔹 Next Steps

Add more AI providers
Improve async handling for faster responses
Integrate tooling like git, Docker, and linters
Add a plugin system so the community can extend DevOrch easily

✅ Try it Today

If you love CLI workflows + AI coding assistance, DevOrch is your tool. Install it, and turn your terminal into a full-fledged AI coding assistant.

Released — Schema Support, Cleaner Internals & What’s Next

Amanpreet Singh — Fri, 30 Jan 2026 18:07:10 +0000

RunAPI just got a solid upgrade.

The latest version introduces schema support, improves internal architecture, and sets the foundation for better testing and database extensibility — while keeping RunAPI lightweight and developer-friendly.

If you’re building APIs with Python and like file-based routing + FastAPI under the hood, this release is for you.

✨ What’s New in This Release

✅ Schema Support (Big One)

RunAPI now supports schemas, making it easier to:

Define request and response models
Validate inputs consistently
Keep APIs structured as they grow

This brings RunAPI closer to real-world production needs while still keeping things simple.

🧹 Code Quality Improvements

A number of internal improvements were merged to clean things up:

Python 3.12 compatibility fixes (datetime.utcnow() → datetime.now(timezone.utc))
Safer handling of non-Pydantic models
Removed deprecated Pydantic v1 patterns
Better module loading safety checks
Cleaner route name generation

These changes don’t affect public APIs but make RunAPI more robust and future-proof.

🗄️ Storage: In-Memory + SQLAlchemy (Optional)

RunAPI currently supports two storage backends:

InMemory storage (default, zero dependencies)
SQLAlchemy storage (used only if SQLAlchemy is installed)

If SQLAlchemy isn’t present, RunAPI gracefully falls back to in-memory storage — no crashes, no surprises.

This keeps RunAPI:

lightweight by default
flexible for more serious use cases

🧠 What We’re Improving Next

With schema support in place, the next focus areas are:

🔍 Better Test Coverage

More tests around schemas
Edge-case tests for routing and auth
Stronger confidence as features grow

🧩 Clear Storage Abstraction

Although InMemory and SQLAlchemy backends already exist, we want:

a clear shared interface
cleaner backend selection
easier future extensions (Redis, etc.)

📚 Better Documentation & Examples

Schema usage guides
Storage behavior explained clearly
Real-world CRUD examples

🤝 Want to Contribute?

RunAPI is still evolving and contributions are very welcome.

Good areas to start:

Tests 🧪
Docs 📖
Storage abstraction 🗄️
Examples & templates 🧱

👉 Issues: https://github.com/Amanbig/runapi/issues

🏁 Final Thoughts

This release is less about flashy features and more about laying a solid foundation.

Schemas unlock safer APIs.
Cleaner internals unlock faster development.
And the roadmap keeps RunAPI flexible without bloating it.

If you try it out, feedback is more than welcome 🙌

Happy building! 🚀

CLI for creating full stack websites (create-nextpy-app)

Amanpreet Singh — Sun, 12 Oct 2025 08:52:42 +0000

🚀 create-nextpy-app v1.1.1 is live!

Thrilled to announce the latest version of create-nextpy-app, the CLI for scaffolding fullstack apps with Next.js frontend and Python backend.

What’s new in v1.1.1?

Choose your backend framework:

FastAPI ✅

RunAPI ✅ — my own Next.js-inspired file-based routing framework for Python.

Same Next.js frontend for building modern, reactive UIs.

Now, developers can quickly bootstrap a fullstack Python + Next.js project and pick the backend that suits their workflow best.

npm: https://lnkd.in/gi4QegKW

github: https://lnkd.in/gywQ6jm5

Get started:

npx create-nextpy-app@latest

Excited to see what the community builds with this new flexibility! 💡

Runapi (File Based routing for python)

Amanpreet Singh — Thu, 25 Sep 2025 08:41:20 +0000

I just published RunAPI — a Python framework inspired by Next.js, but built on FastAPI.

Why RunAPI?

FastAPI is awesome, but large projects can get messy. RunAPI adds file-based routing to keep things clean & scalable.

It also ships with JWT authentication, middleware, error handling, and a CLI for bootstrapping projects quickly.

📦 Install:

pip install runapi
