PC-Based AI Integration Tool

Beginners
1

I had an idea and was wondering if it already exists

Overview

A local PC tool that acts as a semi-manual bridge to various AI chat interfaces. It mimics an API (like OpenAI’s) but requires user intervention to copy/paste requests and responses.

Key Features

  • Clipboard Automation:
    • Outgoing: Copies AI query to clipboard.
    • Incoming: Accepts pasted responses from any AI chat.
  • Userscript Support:
    • Scripts can automatically extract responses from popular AI interfaces (DeepSeek, Claude, ChatGPT) for tools like All-Hands-AI/OpenHands or IDE integrations.

Workflow

  1. Send Request: Type query → Auto-copy to clipboard.
  2. Process:
    • Manual Mode: Paste into AI chat and copy the reply back.
    • Automated Mode: Userscript fetches and returns the AI response.
  3. Handle Response: Process and display the response within the tool.

Benefits

  • Multi-Platform Use: Easily switch between different AI services.
  • Enhanced Development Workflow: Integrates with IDEs for code assistance.
  • Flexible Experimentation: Common interface for various AI models.

Hi there :grin:

On my PC I have tried several applications to use AIs locally.

For AI image generation there is:

  • ComfyUI
  • WebUI Forge

For text generation there is:

  • oLlama
  • Jan
  • Kobold
  • (several others)

These are listed in no particular order. Several of the text-gen applications have Open-AI format APIs built in. I encourage you to have a look, and see if they meet your needs… or perhaps inspire your work! :slight_smile:
Happy AI’ing !

For example, combining libraries like pyperclip with smoalgents?

Thanks for the suggestions. I’m focusing on bridging AI chats with clipboard-based interactions, not running models locally. Pyperclip + agents sounds like a useful idea for automation. Appreciate the input!

Hi PizzaV,
Have you considered just using APIs for connections to all major cloud-based AI services? That way you can have a PC based application where you can connect with various AI services without any copy and paste required.

I have OpenWebUI as my chat interface with LiteLLM as a proxy to “all” the llms including OpenAI, Claude, Gemini and via Fireworks.ai many open source LLMs.

You’ll need the appropriate api keys to the llms of course.

Sounds like you’d just replace OpenWebUI with your own chat code.

Good luck!

Yes that would require me to pay and I would like to use my free chatgpt reasoning and Claude 3.7 chats
