Chat on Steroids is a tool that extends ChatGPT's capabilities by letting it interact with your actual computer. Instead of just talking to the model, you can have it read files, edit code, run tests, keep terminal windows open, and control your desktop. The key difference from standard ChatGPT is that you see results arrive in real-time as the model works through tasks, rather than waiting for a complete response. It uses your existing ChatGPT conversation and account limits rather than calling OpenAI's APIs separately. The tool introduces a worker system for handling multiple tasks in parallel. You can split independent jobs across different workers, and each one maintains its own context so subsequent tasks can build on previous work. You can also write custom skills in Markdown and import them to guide the model's behavior. For long-running operations, you stay in control—you can send corrections mid-task, and features like "Loop" keep the model working within your original instructions. "Compact & Resume" lets you carry the full session history and worker state into a fresh chat window. Installation requires Windows 10/11, macOS 13+, or Linux, plus Chrome 116+ or Edge with a ChatGPT account that has Developer mode enabled. You install the main application, approve your project folders, connect it through ChatGPT's Developer mode, then load a companion Chrome extension. The beta is unsigned on Windows and macOS, so you'll need to verify packages against release checksums. Permissions are granular—you choose which folders to approve and review what capabilities each connection gets before enabling them.
