Microsoft has created an open-source fork of Windows Terminal called "Intelligent Terminal," and it allows you to use AI directly inside Terminal without interfering with the regular session.
Microsoft describes the Intelligent Terminal as a built-in assistant that can help you explain errors, draft commands, and fix problems without leaving the terminal.
