AI-Assisted Tooling
ChatGPT API Browser Bridge
A local API/browser bridge experiment for connecting local scripts with ChatGPT web workflows, especially for long-form generation tasks where repeated context entry becomes inefficient.

Why I built it
Project focus: I wanted to test whether a local tool could reduce repeated manual input and help coordinate long-form generation tasks across local scripts and ChatGPT.

What it includes
- Exposes localhost-only endpoints for sending prompts and reading responses.
- Supports browser-based access to ChatGPT conversations and project workflows.
- Reduces repeated input by letting local scripts reuse context for multi-step writing and editing tasks.
What I worked on
- Defined the tool as a local workflow bridge rather than a replacement for model reasoning.
- Designed endpoints for prompt submission, reply reading, project navigation, diagnostics, and recovery.
- Kept the emphasis on reducing repeated context and understanding browser-automation limits.
What I Learned
- Learned how local tools can coordinate model calls without overloading every step with large context.
- Practiced designing local workflow utilities with clear limits and local-only access.
- Improved my understanding of where browser automation is useful and where it becomes brittle.
