I just use LLMs to help me with ffmpeg (and many other similarly complex tools) commands: https://github.com/dheera/scripts/blob/master/helpme

    $ helpme ffmpeg capture video from /dev/video0 every 1 second and write to .jpg files like img00000.jpg, img00001.jpg, ...
    $ helpme ffmpeg assemble all the .jpg files into an .mp4 timelapse video at 8fps
    $ helpme ffmpeg recompress myvideo.mp4 for HTML5-friendly use and save the result as myvideo_out.webm

I know there are full blown AI terminals like Warp but I didn't like the idea of a terminal app requiring a login, possibly sending all my commands to a server, etc. and just wanted a script that only calls the cloud AI when I ask it to.
