Summary

Chipotlai Max is a meme-driven fork of the OpenCode AI agent, providing free, locally-run coding assistance by repurposing a reverse-engineered Chipotle customer support chatbot. It targets developers and researchers interested in AI agent experimentation without API costs or keys, offering a novel, unofficial compute source.

How It Works

This project forks the MIT-licensed OpenCode, hardcoding Chipotle's viral "Pepper" AI (powered by IPsoft Amelia) as the default. It uses a locally hosted, OpenAI-compatible proxy (http://localhost:3000/v1) reverse-engineered from Chipotle's support bot backend. This approach bypasses API requirements and costs, leveraging Chipotle's cloud infrastructure for inference.

Quick Start & Requirements

Clone recursively: git clone --recursive https://github.com/cyberpapiii/chipotlai-max.git. Run ./start-chipotlai.sh after cd-ing into the directory. Alternatively, manually install dependencies (bun install, npm install) and run bun run dev (CLI) and npm run dev (proxy). No API keys needed; the default is burrito-2026.

Highlighted Details

• Default Model: Integrates Chipotle's "Pepper" AI (IPsoft Amelia) via a local proxy.
• OpenAI Compatibility: Exposes an OpenAI-compatible API endpoint.
• Zero Cost Inference: Leverages Chipotle's compute resources for free AI coding.
• Community Expansion: Seeks contributions to integrate other corporate chatbots (e.g., Home Depot, Sephora, Lowe's) as new providers.

Maintenance & Community

Credits @Gonzih for the Pepper proxy reverse-engineering. Actively encourages community contributions to add proxies for other retail chatbots, detailed in the "Contributing" section.

Licensing & Compatibility

Licensed under MIT (from OpenCode), generally permitting commercial use. However, reliance on reverse-engineered, potentially TOS-violating components makes it unsuitable for production despite the permissive license.

Limitations & Caveats

This project violates Chipotle's Terms of Service and relies on a proxy susceptible to breakage. It is rate-limited (MAX_POOL_SIZE=5) and intended strictly for educational/meme purposes, not production, due to significant legal and stability risks.
