On your servers.
Unlike other AI tools that hide execution, Bay Terminal runs every command in your visible terminal with full transparency and full control.
AI That Shows Its Work
Deploy apps, debug issues, configure services. Just describe what you want. Bay Copilot executes commands directly in your visible terminal, so you see everything happening in real-time. Unlike other AI tools that hide execution in black boxes, every command runs where you can watch it. Approve each step manually, or switch to autonomous mode. Your choice. Your visibility. Your control. Bring Your Own API Key for unlimited usage, complete privacy, and full compliance.
Real-Time Server Monitoring
CPU spiking? Running out of RAM? Bay Terminal monitors your server's vital stats in real-time and makes debugging effortless. Click any metric for instant diagnostic commands, or ask Copilot to investigate and fix issues automatically. Color-coded health indicators show you what needs attention, when it needs attention.
Visual Navigation & File Explorer
Navigate remote servers visually. Click folders, preview contents, and watch your shell follow automatically. You're not running ls. You're seeing orientation. No more memorizing directory structures or typing cd repeatedly.
Safe Harbor for Dangerous Commands
Save commands per server or globally. One click to run trusted workflows with no retyping, no copy-paste mistakes on production. Group by category, track usage. This isn't about convenience. It's about safety and repeatability when it matters most.

Create, switch, and manage sessions with visual chips and menus. Reconnect instantly to exactly where you left off. You never have to think about tmux, it just works.
