An AI engineer that lives in your terminal

My first AI coding agent. Nilux helps me a lot. There's no monthly subscription, you simply pay as you use it, and the price is really affordable.

Nilux is a genuinely interesting product that makes my work a lot easier — the AI here isn't just another chatbot, but a real assistant inside my working environment. What I like most is the approach to safety. Nilux can analyze, suggest solutions and act as an assistant, but the final decision always stays with me: I keep full control over every file change and every command. Another strong side is memory between sessions, which makes work incredibly easier and spares me from explaining the context from scratch every time. And a separate plus — a transparent payment model with no subscriptions and no limits, where you pay only for what you actually use.

This AI is genuinely top-tier, especially for the money. I use it together with Claude at $20, and the two complement each other perfectly. I do part of the hard tasks on Claude, and when the limits there burn out I simply switch over to this one — and I notice no drop in my work at all. On top of that, it's a big help with everyday PC tasks: quickly looking something up, advice on software, rewriting a text or throwing together a simple script. All in all, a daily workhorse — and one that runs on usage rather than a subscription. Recommended.

Nilux AI is the first AI assistant I'm genuinely comfortable pairing with. It doesn't rewrite the whole project its own way — it respects the existing architecture. It always studies the context and the neighboring components before making a targeted edit. No surprises after a commit. And it holds context excellently. The speed is unreal — parallel code analysis turns half a day of work into an hour. With its help I easily scaled a project from simple forms to a complex app with 3D graphics. If you need an assistant that doesn't impose its own vision and speeds development up several times over — recommended.
