Earlier cross-platform AI client
ChatGPT
An early experiment in carrying one conversational AI workflow across every Avalonia target.
Overview
An earlier Avalonia ChatGPT client spanning desktop, mobile, and browser, with reusable API, UI, CLI batch-processing, and Windows COM integration packages.
The earlier ChatGPT project explored one reusable conversational client across Avalonia desktop, Android, iOS, and browser targets, then extended the same API into file-oriented CLI processing and Windows COM/VBA automation.
