AI tools

New section AI

This part of SmartBolig.net covers AI tools as a separate topic. It is not mixed into Home Assistant, ESP32, products, or smart home guides.

The first focus is AI CLIs: terminal tools that can read code, explain projects, write changes, and run commands with your permissions.

Start safely

AI CLIs can access files, terminal commands, and sometimes the network. Start in a Git repository, check git status, and begin with read-only or explanation tasks before allowing edits.
