Kel vs Taiga: Which is better?

Kel is an AI-based assistant embedded in your Command Line Interface (CLI). It is designed to augment productivity by automating repetitive tasks and enhancing the overall efficiency of your CLI. Kel is equipped with multiple Languages for Learning Machines (LLMs) support including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Ollama, whilst also supporting OpenAI Assistants. It further allows users to engage in unique interactions such as 'chatting' with their artifacts by uploading their files to the assistant. Developers can personalize their assistant using their own API keys for OpenAI or Anthropic, a feature that might soon extend to other LLMs.
