kai ask

Query the AI advisor from the command line.

Usage

kai ask QUESTION... [OPTIONS]
Option Description
--model, -m AI model (default from settings)
--no-github Skip fetching GitHub issues (faster)
--no-context Send question without Kaisho context

Examples

kai ask "What should I focus on today?"
kai ask "How many hours did I bill Acme this month?"
kai ask "Create a task for Beta Inc: fix the login bug"
kai ask "Summarize my week" --model "claude:claude-sonnet-4-20250514"

Context

By default, the advisor gathers context before answering:

  • Open tasks
  • This month's clock entries
  • Inbox items
  • Customers with budgets
  • GitHub issues (unless --no-github)

Use --no-context for standalone questions that don't need your Kaisho data.
