+Comparison
+----------
 
 While we obviously like gptme, there are other great projects in the AI-assisted development space that provide similar but different capabilities, which be more what you are looking for.
 
-Here we will briefly introduce some we like, along with their key features. We will focus on terminal-based tools, with some exceptions, to narrow the scope of comparison.

+ChatGPT Code Interpreter
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+This was one of the early inspirations for gptme, a local-first alternative to ChatGPT's Code Interpreter, giving the LLM access to your terminal and local files.
+
+There's not much to compare here anymore, as gptme has evolved a lot since then (while Code Interpreter hasn't), but it's worth mentioning as it was one of the first projects in this space.
