Run local desktop commands through the ChatGPT website
The author built a desktop app plus Chrome extension that makes the ChatGPT website act as a local coding agent running commands on their desktop; not available for general release. · Nov 3, 2026
- What They Did
- The author paired a desktop app with a Chrome extension so the ChatGPT website could work as a local coding agent, running real commands on their own desktop. The comment says this took a lot of fighting with the website itself. The technical details are in a separate note the author links to, which this comment only mentions.
- How It Went
- It partly works, in the author's words "sorta". It is not available for general release, and the comment gives no numbers or benchmarks.
- Worth Knowing
- The comment doesn't say how the setup behaves in practice or why it can't be released, so read the author's linked note for those details.
Try it yourself with ChatGPT
Help me work on the project in [folder path] by running commands on my computer. Start by reading the project and running [test or build command], then fix any failures you find in [language or framework]. Show me each change before you apply it, and ask before running anything that deletes files or installs software. Stop when the command passes and give me a short summary of what changed.
