CLI-Anything

★ 48k

Auto-generates production-grade CLI wrappers for any software (Blender, GIMP, LibreOffice, web apps) so AI agents can drive them with commands instead of clicking GUIs.

CLI-Anything does the job of Zapier and UiPath, self-hosted. It is Apache-2.0-licensed, so you can do essentially what you like with it, and it installs in about one command. Zapier bills $20/mo for it. 48k stars on GitHub.
