Chat Traffic Gate (ChatGPT) — AutoPilot v3.1 - UPDATED VERSION Status
WIP (work in progress). This is not perfect and still changing. It might help your workflow, or it might not. Use it if you want.
I use this myself, and I notice when it is not running.

Reality check
This is a personal tool and actively being worked on.
It is not a promise, not polished, and not guaranteed.
It may help some users, and do nothing for others.
If it helps you, great. If not, skip it.
