Maker Builds a ChatGPT DOS Client for a 1984 Computer #VintageComputing #AI

With the recent attention on ChatGPT and OpenAI’s release of their APIs, many developers have developed clients for modern platforms to talk to the AI chatbot. However it seems nobody has written one for a vintage platform like MS-DOS, until now.

Yeo Kheng Meng’s MS-DOS client supports Hugging Face API and text to speech (TTS) capability.

WHY DOS?

3.5 years ago, I wrote a Slack client to run on Windows 3.1. I thought to try something different this time and develop for an even older platform as a challenge.

DOS does not have native networking abilities and the systems are weaker in processing power thus it should present additional difficulties when coding for this platform.
