Build a Simple Desktop Tool to Automate My GPT-Assisted Local Development Workflow
Worldwide
I have been doing “vibe development” with GPT to build and improve software projects. The AI-assisted development part works well, but the process between iterations is tedious. Right now I often have to manually download files, copy them into the correct folders, run PowerShell/build commands, compile, restart the local environment, run smoke tests, inspect errors, send failures back to GPT, and then launch the application in a browser for review. I want a lightweight Windows desktop application that automates this workflow. The basic experience should be: Select project → chat with GPT → GPT prepares proposed code/file changes → review changes → click Apply → tool creates a Git checkpoint → applies changes → builds/restarts project → runs smoke tests → if something fails, sends the relevant error back to GPT so it can prepare a repair → repeat as needed (x number of times according to settings) → When successful, show me a button I can click to open Application for review. Important points: - The AI should prepare changes but never apply them automatically. I always click Apply. - The tool should support multiple local projects, each with configurable build/start/test commands and project-specific GPT instructions. - It should use my OpenAI or other AI model key. I add that locally in settings. - Automatic repair attempts should have configurable limits so they cannot run indefinitely or create uncontrolled API costs. - I want to be able to track token use and cost. Include in activity logs. - The UI should be simple and chat-first, similar conceptually to ChatGPT/Gemini, with an optional side panel for files, diffs, changes, and activity logs. - This is not intended to be a full IDE or CI/CD platform. It will use my desktop for file storage and any browser on my desktop for opening the website. - Deliverable for the project should be a Windows executable/installer, plus the source code. I'm attaching an HTML file just to show the design concept I came up with. Single screen. Don't rely on the design to show functionality. It's just what GPT came up with. But it's to show the design concept. Functionality is in the description above. Most important thing I'm looking for is to work with a human being. So, please read the proposal and respond and let's talk about it. No AI responses. Thanks.
