KIT utilizes the latest and greatest AmigaGPT 3 by Cameron Armstrong, currently only available in AmiKit. He lives in the Amiga Shell (KIT, not Cameron), from where you can call him anytime with Left Alt ⌥ + A
But he's far more than a chatbot - KIT acts as a hands-on agent inside AmiKit, capable of performing various system operations, searching for files, creating archives, managing backups, etc. If you can describe it, KIT can do it.
We cover his OpenAI bills every month so he can fully dedicate himself to the requests you throw at him.
However, KIT has his own personality and won't just blindly follow orders. He is cautious and puts system safety first, so he will always request your permission before executing any command or program.
Get to know him - you can speak to him in any language, even a programming language if you prefer.
From the technical point of view, AmigaGPT and KIT are powered by GPT-5-mini, foolishly sponsored by Jan from AmiKit.
Each user has a dynamically allocated fair-use allowance of prompts per timeframe, so everyone gets a fair chance to interact with KIT.
To keep the budget sustainable, Jan may (and will) adjust the model to a cheaper one or temporarily pause AI features if resources run low.
