Made with ❤️ by AlloraAi
AlloraCLI is an open-source, AI-powered command-line interface that transforms how teams manage cloud infrastructure. Instead of memorizing complex commands, simply describe what you want in plain English.
# Traditional way
aws ec2 describe-instances --filters "Name=instance-state-name,Values=running" --query "Reservations[].Instances[].[InstanceId,Tags[?Key=='Name'].Value|[0],State.Name]"
# AlloraCLI way
allora ask "Show me all running EC2 instances with their names"| Traditional Tools | AlloraCLI |
