in plain english

Vetala is a coding assistant that lives entirely inside your terminal. Instead of using a separate chat window or an editor plugin, you type commands into your regular command line and Vetala explores your codebase, writes code, runs commands, searches the web, queries datasets, and manages background processes for you. This version, called Vetala V2, is described as a full rewrite of an earlier version, with a new internal architecture and a different set of tools. Installing it is meant to be simple. On Linux and macOS you run a single script that downloads the right binary and adds it to your system path. On Windows you paste one command into PowerShell to do the same thing. If you prefer to install by hand, prebuilt binaries are available from the project's release page, either a stable version built from the main branch or a nightly version built every night from the newest, less tested code. The README warns that the program comes with a folder of supporting binaries that must stay next to the main executable, or it will not work correctly. You can also build it yourself from source if you have the .NET tools installed, since the project is written in C#. Once installed, you start it by typing a single command in your terminal. The first time you run it, it asks you to add an API key for Sarvam AI, which is the AI provider it currently supports, and says support for other providers is planned. Your settings are saved to a configuration file in your home folder. Typing a help command inside the tool shows the full list of things it can do, and the project's own documentation folder has more detail on its 18 or more built in tools, the different roles an agent can take on, and how the underlying system is put together. The project is released under the Apache 2.0 license.
