Has anyone created a CLI for ChatGPT-Plus Web Interface?

PLEASE NOTE: I AM AWARE OF THE OPENAI (GPT4) API AND USE IT… this is a different issue.

Yes, we there exists an API (separate from chatgpt-plus) and wonderful CLIs like charm/mods that exploit that API.

But I also have a wealth of less-expensive conversations in chatgpt-plus’s web interface that I would like to interact with at the command line.

Has anyone created a TUI-CLI or CLI for interacting with these conversations? E.g. grouping them into folders, bulk deleting conversations, bulk searching conversations?

Hi!
he web version of ChatGPT Plus is so much more than just API access to a model. It’s a “living” memory, a knowledge space:

  • Rich, searchable conversation history (with actual context and thread structure)
  • Folders and workspaces
  • Projects: contextual glue for long-term reasoning
  • Custom Instructions: my own voice, my rules, my persona
  • Plugins, code interpreter, connectors
  • Fine-tuned, evolving UI with context awareness

So I’m left doing the only thing possible:
I have to rebuild all of that, by hand, in Python.
That means:

  • Manual management of all conversation states, memory, and context windows
  • Faking “projects” and “folders” with my own JSON or database structures
  • Hard-coding my “custom instructions” in every single prompt
  • Rolling my own embeddings and semantic search just to find a conversation
  • No way to bulk search, group, or organize web-based conversations from the CLI
  • No easy way to “continue” a rich ChatGPT Plus thread outside the browser

Let’s be honest:
It’s like sitting on the edge of a beautiful garden, peering through the gate, while only being allowed to plant seeds in a sandbox next door.

I know all the technical and security reasons why things are this way — but imagine the potential if the “real” ChatGPT experience was available natively, with context, instructions, and all my creative work, right from the terminal. Imagine the workflows, the automations, the cross-platform magic.

This is why I’m forced to reinvent the wheel, piecing together memory, embeddings, folders, custom instructions, and context management — all manually. And I know I’m not the only one.

If anyone at OpenAI is listening:
Give us the keys to our own garden. Or at least, give us a well-lit footpath between worlds.
