TASKRUNNER / SECURE COMPUTER ACCESS FOR CHATGPT
Your computers.
Ready for ChatGPT.
Control your own computers remotely with AI. Connect the devices you authorize, then simply ask ChatGPT to find files, run commands, troubleshoot problems, and complete supported tasks for you.
HOW IT WORKS
One conversation. Work across your computers and the cloud.
ChatGPT can reason in the cloud, route supported work through TaskRunner to the computers you authorize, combine returned results, and use those machines to publish or deploy outputs to destinations you already control.
Ask once
Describe the outcome you want in ChatGPT. Planning, reasoning and information synthesis can happen in the cloud.
Work where the resources are
TaskRunner routes supported operations to one or more computers you authorized, so work can happen where your files, repositories and local tools already live.
Return, combine and deliver
Machine results return to ChatGPT. When your authorized environment supports it, the machines can then publish or deploy the finished output to the destinations you control.
ONE WORKSPACE
Know what is connected.
Your TaskRunner workspace keeps the operational picture simple.
USE CASES
Useful wherever the work already lives.
Connect only computers you own or are expressly permitted to administer.
Personal computers
Reach files and system information on an authorized computer without copying everything into the chat first.
Office operations
Check workstation state, inspect relevant files and perform supported maintenance tasks through one account.
Development
Inspect repositories, logs and processes on authorized development machines while keeping execution tied to a specific device.
WHY TASKRUNNER
Powerful access, under your control.
TaskRunner lets you do real work on your authorized computers using natural-language requests to ChatGPT. Familiar with TeamViewer, AnyDesk, or Chrome Remote Desktop? Those are examples of remote-access products. With TaskRunner, you simply tell ChatGPT what you want done on your connected computer, and AI can perform permitted file operations, system checks, commands, troubleshooting, and maintenance.
Work where your files are
Let ChatGPT read supported files, inspect directories and return useful results from the computer you select.
Run supported computer tasks
Use TaskRunner tools for bounded system, process, search and file operations instead of manually moving information between machines.
Stay in control
Computers are tied to your account. Review their status, remove devices and revoke access when you no longer want a connection.
SECURITY & CONTROL
Access is powerful. Control stays with you.
TaskRunner uses account-bound authorization, HTTPS control-plane communication, scoped permissions and protected local credentials. You decide which computers belong to your account and can remove access you no longer want.

FAQ
Know what you are authorizing.
What can ChatGPT do through TaskRunner?
TaskRunner exposes supported tools for authorized computers, including bounded file, directory, search, process, terminal, configuration and system-status operations. The exact tools available depend on the installed service and permissions.
Can ChatGPT access everything on my computer?
No blanket promise of unrestricted access is required. TaskRunner operations are limited by the installed service, its configured permissions, operating-system access and the tools exposed to the authorized client.
How do I authorize or revoke a computer?
Install TaskRunner from your signed-in Connect page to bind a computer to your account. Use your device and account controls to remove access you no longer want.
Does the computer need to be online?
Yes. Remote operations require the selected TaskRunner computer and its service to be online and connected.
Which operating systems are supported?
The current Connect workflow provides installers for Windows, macOS and Linux x64/ARM64. Individual TaskRunner services and capabilities can vary by platform.
Is Basic really free?
Yes. Basic is the free TaskRunner tier and includes the core MCP service. Additional services belong to Full entitlements.
How is this different from conventional remote desktop?
TaskRunner is designed around structured computer tools that an authorized AI client can invoke. It is not positioned as a screen-sharing replacement; the goal is to let ChatGPT perform supported computer work and return results.
