I Built a Local AI Gateway That Talks to Claude, ChatGPT, DeepSeek and Gemini — Without a Single API Key
A developer created a local AI gateway that allows interaction with AI models like Claude, ChatGPT, DeepSeek, and Gemini without needing API keys. This solution uses a Flask server to automate desktop applications, enabling users to send queries and receive responses in JSON format. The gateway circumvents billing and rate limits by leveraging existing free accounts for these AI services.
- ▪The AI Gateway is a local Flask server that automates interactions with desktop AI applications.
- ▪Users can send HTTP requests to the server, which then communicates with the AI apps and returns responses as JSON.
- ▪The setup process is straightforward and allows for easy switching between different AI models.
