Connect your apps with AI
Ask ChatGPT or Claude to work with your tools from the terminal on your Mac or Windows PC. It calls APIs with the keys you already have, runs CLIs like git, and runs your scripts. You describe the result, it runs the commands.
Works in ChatGPT and Claude, on the web and on your phone. See how it works in ChatGPT or Claude.
You're spending more time in dashboards than doing actual work.
Every tool has its own interface to learn, its own menus to navigate. You spend hours clicking through settings, switching tabs, and copying data between platforms. The tools meant to help you are slowing you down.
One conversation across your tools
Desktop Commander lets ChatGPT or Claude run commands in the terminal on your computer. If you can reach a tool from there with an API key, a CLI or a script, you can ask for it in plain words.
Skip the UI entirely
ChatGPT or Claude calls the service's API or CLI from your terminal. No menus to click through, no new interface to learn.
Describe outcomes, not steps
"Pull the leads we added after last week's conference." You say what you want, not how to get it.
Chain actions across tools
Get data from one service, work with it, and send the result to another, all in one conversation.
Just say things like:
Saved 37 new contacts to conference-leads.csv.
- •Called the HubSpot contacts API with the key in your project's .env file.
- •Kept contacts created in the last 7 days that came from the conference form.
- •Saved name, company, email and deal stage to Documents/conference-leads.csv.
3 pull requests are waiting for your review.
- •Ran gh pr list in your website repo, filtered to review requests for you.
- •#412 Pricing page copy, opened 2 days ago.
- •#418 Fix mobile nav and #419 Update footer links, both opened today.
Chain actions across your tools
Describe a task that spans several tools. ChatGPT or Claude runs each step in your terminal and passes the result to the next one, in the same conversation.
You say:
"Get last week's support tickets from our help desk API, group them by topic, check our GitHub repo for matching bug reports, and save a summary to my Notes folder."
Help desk API
Fetch last week's tickets with your API key
Python
Group the tickets by topic
GitHub CLI
Find matching issues with gh
Your notes
Save the summary as a markdown file
Result:
One summary with tickets, matching issues and links, written to your Notes folder in one conversation.
"Write a script that pulls yesterday's orders from our shop API into orders.csv, then run it."
The script is saved in your project folder. Ask it to run again whenever you need fresh numbers.
"Check the server logs for errors since yesterday's deploy, then compare them with the commits in git log."
Debug across systems without switching tabs.
What You Can Do
Check your CRM without opening it
With your CRM's API key on your computer, ask for the records you need in plain words.
Publish content without the admin panel
WordPress and most CMSs have an API or a CLI. Ask it to create a draft, update a post, or schedule it.
Get answers from your analytics data
Point it at an export or an API you already use, and ask questions instead of building reports.
Version control without learning Git commands
Commit, branch, and push in plain English. It runs git in your repo for you.
