AI Should Work for You, Not Against You

Bonfire Terminal was built to give non-technical business owners the power of AI automation—without the security risks.

Our Mission

We believe AI should amplify your unique abilities, not expose your business to cloud vulnerabilities.

Bonfire Terminal is the first AI interface designed specifically for digital product owners who need security, reliability, and results.

Unlike cloud automation that breaks and exposes credentials, Bonfire runs locally on your machine—you stay in control.

Founder & CEO

John Crestani is a prolific marketer, entrepreneur, and YouTube content creator with a track record of building and scaling 7-figure businesses online.

Over the past decade, John has helped thousands of entrepreneurs automate their business workflows. Through that experience, he witnessed a critical problem: Every tool that promised to make automation "easy" was either too basic to be useful, or too complicated for non-developers to implement.

Cloud automation platforms like Zapier and Make promised convenience but delivered credential exposure and constant breakage. Browser AI tools like ChatGPT could think but couldn't act. And custom development required hiring a team and spending months and tens of thousands of dollars.

Bonfire Terminal was created to solve all three problems at once.

By leveraging Claude Code, advanced AI, and local processing, Bonfire gives business owners the ability to build real, production-grade automation without code, without cloud exposure, and without months of development time.

Why Bonfire Terminal Exists

Browser AI (ChatGPT, Claude)

Can't access your business data. Can't take action. Just conversation.

Cloud Automation (Zapier/Make)

Exposes credentials. Breaks constantly. Platform-dependent. Expensive at scale.

Bonfire Terminal

Local security. Real automation. Works with your existing AI. No code required.

Built on Proven Technology

Bonfire Terminal is built on Claude Code and Hyper Terminal, giving you access to cutting-edge AI capabilities in a familiar terminal environment.
