WinGPT
Source: hackernews Tool title: WinGPT URL: https://www.dialup.net/wingpt/ Popularity signal: 472 Summary: Hey HN, I didn't want my Gateway 4DX2-66 from 1993 to be left out of the AI revolution, so I built an AI Assistant for Windows 3.1, based on the OpenAI API.<p>The most interesting parts of building this were:<p>- Getting TLS 1.2 and 1.3 working on Windows 3.1 so that WinGPT could directly connect to OpenAI's server without relying on a modern machine for TLS termination.<p>- Learning about the memory segmentation architecture on 16-bit Windows, including the difference between <i>far</i> and <i>near</i> pointers.<p>- Building the UI in plain C code with the Windows API and limited selection of controls in Windows 3.1.<p>You can check it out here and learn more about what it was like to build it: <a href="https://www.dialup.net/wingpt/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.dialup.net/wingpt/</a> HN title: Show HN: WinGPT – AI assistant for Windows 3.1 HN points: 382 HN comments: 90
