Overview

What is Glitch

Glitch AI Engine is a production desktop terminal application developed by Alex Butler at Vritra Security Organization (VritraSec). It is not an AI chat shell or a Python pip package - it is a desktop application that runs your real system shell (bash, zsh, etc.) alongside a collapsible Glitch AI assistant panel.

Run your normal workflow in the terminal. When you need help, select output and use Send to AI, open the Glitch AI panel, type /shell for command-focused assistance, or reference files with @filename mentions. Glitch keeps terminal work and AI work in one window.
