💾 About The Project

Opti-Link Instant Messenger (Backup Version)

Note: This file (BACKUP OF FINAL VERSION BEFORE LLAMA.CPP DO NOT DELETE.PS1) appears to be a stable backup of the Opti-Link Instant Messenger application.

Opti-Link is a sophisticated PowerShell-based chat client designed to interface with local Large Language Models (LLMs) via LM Studio. It provides a modern, "instant messenger" style interface for chatting with AI models running on your own hardware.

Built by: Zachary Whiteman & Google Gemini Ai.

📐 Architecture & Security Notes

  • Local Communication: The app communicates over http to localhost. Ensure your firewall allows local loopback traffic on port 1234 (or your configured port).
  • Portable Config: The application creates a folder named OptiLink_Config in the same directory as the script to store settings, logs, and icons.
