What is AI Chat Desktop Applications?
AI Chat Desktop Applications is a collection of Electron-based desktop applications that wrap popular web-based AI chat platforms—ChatGPT, DeepSeek Chat, Claude AI, Grok, and Perplexity AI—into native Linux AppImage builds. It provides system tray integration, hardware acceleration, and other desktop features for users who prefer a dedicated app experience.
How to use AI Chat Desktop Applications?
Each application is built and run independently from its own subdirectory. After cloning the repository, navigate into the desired app folder (e.g., ChatGPT_APP), run npm install, then npm start to launch the app or npm run build to produce an AppImage. For the Claude app, use sudo ./build-deb.sh to build a Debian package and install it via dpkg.
