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.
