Show HN: I'm 15 and built Gofer, an AI that gets actual terminal work done

Gofer is a side-project I wrote at 15 because I was sick of these so-called CLI agents. Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, they're all wonderful if you're coding. But for those just wanna automate their stuff, it's a dud. Gofer solves this by being terminal-first, meant to accomplish any task a command line can. It can also watch your desktop so you can avoid waiting for downloads to finish, and can text you via. Telegram!

Happy to answer any questions :D! -J

Unless this is a dig at the deluge of "I'm twelve and I've created this framework" that I've seen recently. In this case, well played.
