saygm deploy hermes --to phala
saygm deploy openclaw --to ssh://[email protected]
saygm deploy hermes --to aws://us-east-1
saygm deploy openclaw --to local

Manage a deployment

saygm deployments status <id>
saygm deployments logs <id>
saygm deployments destroy <id>

03 · Terminal chat

Ask or chat with any model.

Send shell output to saygm ask, or open an interactive session with saygm chat.

git diff | saygm ask "Write a commit message"
git log --since=yesterday --oneline | saygm ask "Write my standup update"
cat contract.txt | saygm ask -m glm-5.3-flash-tee "List the termination clauses" > clauses.md
saygm chat

-m picks a model, and saygm models default <id> sets your default.

04 · Automation

For scripts and agents.

Use JSON output, exit codes and environment keys in CI or on a server.

saygm login --key-only --key "$SAYGM_KEY"
saygm models --json
saygm deploy hermes --to aws://us-east-1 --key-env SAYGM_KEY --yes

Use --json for structured output. Chat returns one JSON line per turn; followed logs return one per log line. The example stores an API key with --key-only --key for CI. Use --key-env to pass an environment key to deploys. Add --yes to confirm a scripted deploy.

Exit codes

  • 0 Success
  • 1 Error
  • 2 Usage error
  • 3 Sign-in required or key rejected
  • 4 Insufficient balance
  • 5 Network or service unavailable
