EdgeGPT is a reverse-engineered client project that exposed a programmatic interface to Microsoft’s Bing Chat experience (often associated with “Edge” due to access patterns and requirements at the time). It was built to let developers run prompts and retrieve responses through scripts and applications, effectively turning the chat experience into something that could be automated and integrated into tools. The repository gained popularity because it provided a practical way to experiment with Bing Chat programmatically, including CLI-style usage patterns and developer-oriented documentation. As with many reverse-engineered clients, it depended on upstream behavior that could change, and the project’s lifecycle reflected that reality. The repository was later archived, meaning it is read-only and no longer actively maintained, but it remains a reference point for how developers approached unofficial access to Bing Chat. In essence, EdgeGPT served as a bridge between an interactive chat
