About Portal
Portal is a cross-platform tool designed to integrate the capabilities of ChatGPT into users' workflows. It allows users to send any selected text to ChatGPT for processing via a keyboard shortcut, and then return the result to the user's clipboard or at the cursor position (achieving a typewriter effect). This enables immediate access to ChatGPT in most applications that do not have native ChatGPT integration. The tool supports multiple connection methods, with planned features including agent mode, multiple file loading, and browser mode.
