This plugin provides free, API-keyless access to OpenAI's ChatGPT for users of the macOS translation app Bob. It enables chat, text polishing, and translation functionalities without requiring user accounts, API keys, or separate service installations, offering a convenient way to leverage ChatGPT's capabilities within the Bob ecosystem.

How It Works

The plugin integrates directly with the Bob translation application, bypassing the need for traditional API authentication. It likely leverages a method to access ChatGPT's services without explicit key management, potentially through web scraping or an alternative, undocumented endpoint. This approach simplifies setup and removes cost barriers associated with API usage.
