Ata
AI agents for solving engineering and research problems end to end
Install / Use
/learn @Agents2AgentsAI/AtaREADME
We are building Ata to be the AI assistant that can solve software engineering and research problems end-to-end - not just another code-assist tool. On top of the vanilla Codex CLI, Ata adds:
- Multiple AI providers: OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini. We also provide on-premise self-hosted solutions; contact us at accounts@agents2agents.ai for details.
- Research tools: Paper Search (Semantic Scholar, arXiv, OpenAlex), Patent Search (EPO), and Zotero integration
- LSP and Tree-sitter support: for deeper semantic understanding of your codebase
- Voice support: powered by ElevenLabs
- Research View: a dedicated reading experience for papers and patents
And many more capabilities coming soon.
Quickstart
Installing and running Ata CLI
Install globally with your preferred package manager:
Install using npm
npm install -g @a2a-ai/ata
Install using curl (macOS/Linux)
curl -fsSL https://agents2agents.ai/ata/install.sh | sh
Then simply run ata to get started.
Each GitHub Release contains many executables, but in practice, you likely want one of these:
- macOS
- Apple Silicon/arm64:
ata-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz - x86_64 (older Mac hardware):
ata-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
- Apple Silicon/arm64:
- Linux
- x86_64:
ata-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
- x86_64:
Each archive contains a single entry with the platform baked into the name (e.g., ata-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl), so you likely want to rename it to ata after extracting it.
Using Ata with different providers
You can use ata with ChatGPT plan or OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini API key. All your API keys are stored securely on your local machine and never sent anywhere.
