Show HN: OpenBridge – turn web chat access into an OpenAI-compatible endpoint

3•linuz•1h ago
I built OpenBridge: a local bridge that lets agents and tools talk to models through the web chats you already have access to, using a standard OpenAI-style API.

The idea is simple: if you can use a model from a browser chat, OpenBridge exposes that access as a local endpoint, so tools like OpenCode, OpenClaw, PI, or anything else that speaks the OpenAI format can use it too.

How it works:

* runs locally

* uses your existing authenticated web session

* translates requests and responses into a standard OpenAI-compatible interface

* supports normal chat flows and tool-style interactions

I’ve already used it to build multiple complex apps with it, including through OpenClaw, and it’s been great.

---

The motivation is bigger than just saving tokens.

I think inference should be as accessible as possible. If a person already has access to a model, they should be able to use that access from their own tools, on their own machine, without being forced into a separate paid API path just to automate legitimate personal workflows.

If your main concern is protecting the ToS of billion-dollar AI companies that ingested the open web at massive scale and now charge users for access to models trained on it, then this project is not for you.

And yeah, this post was also written using OpenBridge.

Cheers, Linuz
