GBAM CLI user manual

GBAM is a terminal chat app for working with AI conversations and real project context. The CLI is the part of the system that can access your local repository, read and edit files, and run local commands. The server handles authentication, persistence, model orchestration, billing, and streamed responses.

Overview

GBAM is designed around a strict responsibility split. The backend decides what the model should do and persists the conversation, but your local CLI is the only part allowed to touch your project files. That makes the terminal app the main user-facing product for coding work, while the website supports account, billing, permissions, and dashboard flows.
