So here’s the thing: I like learning. I do. I swear.
But sometimes… learning likes to test me. Unfairly. Or fairly, but who’s to judge? that random viva that you didn’t prepare for which was completely not your fault
And in those moments — when panic sets in and the “open another tab” guilt kicks in — I realized something profound:
I don’t need a second brain. I need a stealth AI sidekick that doesn’t snitch.
The Problem: ChatGPT is loud
-
You open it in Chrome → it flashes.
-
It’s in your taskbar → it glows.
-
You Alt+Tab? BAM. Big ol' “ChatGPT” window like it’s waving at your teacher.
-
And when you close it? You lose the convo. Your trail. Your GENIUS 9-part answer strategy.
Unacceptable.
The Solution: Ninja Mode ChatGPT
So I built a launcher that:
-
Launches ChatGPT in the background — invisible on the taskbar
-
Pops open with
Ctrl + Shift + Space -
Hides itself the moment I Alt+Tab or click away
-
Keeps the same session alive - no lost convos, no retyping
-
Lives in the system tray like a polite little spy assistant
It’s the ChatGPT version of that kid in class who never talks but always gets A’s and nobody knows why. I did not become that kid. But you might with this program i wrote hypothetically of course.
Live Demo (Totally Not During an Exam)
Question 3: “WAP in python implementing nearest neighbor.”
Me: Ctrl + Shift + Space
ChatGPT: “Here's a simple Python program that implements the Nearest Neighbor Algorithm (also called 1-Near-”
Footsteps
Me: Alt+Tab Vanished.
Teacher: “Everyone doing okay?”
Me: “Just thinking really hard... with my eyes closed... and my hands not moving... for 90 seconds...”
The Real MVPs
pystray — for the invisible ninja icon in my tray
pywin32 — for doing unspeakable things to the Windows API
keyboard — for listening like a loyal homie who never snitches
Is This Ethical?
Absolutely not.
But is it funny?
Yes.
And is it surprisingly well-coded and professionally version-controlled and distributed with a signed .exe release on GitHub?
Also yes.
Am I proud of that fact?
Let’s move on.
In Conclusion
If you're gonna cheat (hypothetically), at least do it with style. Be the digital ninja. Vanish when you must. Strike when the WiFi is strong. And remember: Alt+Tab is faster than honor.
Disclaimer again: This was a joke. For entertainment. If you’re reading this and you’re in a position of academic power, I swear I’ve never done this. Probably.
