In plain English

This repository claims to provide desktop builds of three commercial AI chat products: ChatGPT Desktop, Claude Desktop, and Perplexity Desktop. According to the README, it targets Windows 10 and Windows 11 (64-bit), and the builds are described as "pre-activated," meaning the author says no subscription or license key is required to use them. The README lists what is removed from the original software: subscription requirements, usage limits, feature restrictions tied to paid plans, and trial limitations. In other words, the builds are presented as modified versions of commercial products where the payment gates have been stripped out. Installation is described as downloading an archive from an external link (hosted on Telegra.ph, a third-party publishing platform), extracting it with a provided password, and running a Setup.exe file as Administrator. The README states the result was tested on Windows 11 and that all features were working as of June 2026. There is no source code in this repository. It contains only a README that acts as a landing page pointing to a download link on an external site. There is no build system, no license file, and no information about how the builds were created or who maintains them. Readers should be aware that distributing modified versions of commercial software without authorization from the original developers is typically a violation of those products' terms of service and copyright law. The download link points to an external platform, not to GitHub-hosted files.
