I’m excited to share with you a Java application I’ve developed that works on older versions of Windows as well as a newer version called JavaGPT. Now you can access ChatGPT and all its features through a user-friendly Java GUI on almost any OS!

- Chat Streaming: Chat generates responses in real-time just like the GPT website.
- Chat History: Lets you interact with previous chats like a website.
- Undo Chats: Be able to undo previous hints and replies from a chat.
- HTML Viewer: View your chat content in HTML. The Markdown language supports syntax.
- Chat Topics: Automatically generates a topic for a chat based on its context. Can be changed manually if desired.
- Import predefined indicators.
- Save chats to a file.
- Dark Mode and Right Click Copy Edit Paste Features
- Support for ChatGPT 4 and all ChatGPT 3.5 models

Since JavaGPT is an open source project, anyone can download and check out the program code on GitHub. By the way, since this application is based on the latest Java 8 version, versions of Windows older than Windows 8, including Windows 95, cannot currently use JavaGPT. Keep in mind that this is a third-party application not endorsed by OpenAI or Microsoft so proceed at your own risk.
