This article explores how a team built an AI-powered emoji list generator during a Rubber Duck Thursday live stream. The tool runs in the terminal, takes a list of bullet points, and uses AI to intelligently replace them with relevant emojis before copying the result to the clipboard.
Key highlights include:
- Use of GitHub Copilot CLI for rapid development via plan and autopilot modes.
- Integration of @opentui/core for the terminal user interface.
- Leveraging the GitHub Copilot SDK to provide intelligent emoji selection.
- Implementation of a multi-model workflow using different LLMs for planning and execution.

OpenCode is an open-source AI coding agent designed for development work. It offers two built-in agents: 'build' for full access and 'plan' for read-only analysis and code exploration. Installation is possible via curl, package managers (npm, brew, etc.), or as a desktop application for macOS, Windows, and Linux. It distinguishes itself from tools like Claude Code by being 100% open source, provider-agnostic, offering LSP support, and having a focus on a Terminal UI. OpenCode is built with a client/server architecture, allowing for remote access via mobile apps.
