Overview / Description
Harikrupa is an AI developer tool that answers life, career, and burnout questions using verses from the Srimad Bhagavad Gita, delivered through a privacy-first offline CLI for software developers. Installed with a single npm command, the tool uses a hybrid Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture: a local ONNX vector index performs semantic search entirely on your machine in milliseconds, matching your query to the most relevant shloka without any data leaving your laptop. When online, Groq-powered inference generates a contextual, bilingual commentary on the matched verse. When offline or when no API key is set, Harikrupa falls back gracefully to its bundled verse database, printing the raw Sanskrit text alongside translations in one of more than eight languages.
Bilingual output is a core feature: the tool supports over 20 languages including Hindi, Gujarati, Japanese, Spanish, French, and Punjabi, with native-script headings rendered directly in the terminal. A Verse of the Day command provides a random grounding thought at any moment. The terminal UI uses color-coded output — gold, cyan, and dimmed text — for readable, aesthetically considered presentation. Setup is handled through a simple interactive wizard for your Groq API key and language preference, requiring only four total dependencies.
Harikrupa collects no telemetry. There is no account, no subscription, no hosted vector database, and no credit card required. The Groq API key used for inference is free. The tool is fully open source and oriented toward developers who want a personal wellness utility in their existing terminal workflow rather than a separate web application.
Used For
Software developers experiencing burnout or career stress who want private, offline-capable Bhagavad Gita verse guidance with AI-generated bilingual commentary from the terminal.

- Bilingual output supports 20+ languages with native-script headings rendered in the terminal
- Zero telemetry, no account creation, and only four npm dependencies keep the install footprint minimal
