Can ChatGPT control MDB/ACCDB Viewer?
On a Mac with BCD, yes, through the app's window: ChatGPT can open MDB/ACCDB Viewer, read the buttons and text it shows, press buttons, type and pick menu items. How far that goes depends on how much of its window MDB/ACCDB Viewer exposes to macOS accessibility.

Does this work on Windows?
No. BCD controls app windows only on a Mac. On Windows and Linux it works with files and commands.

Is it safe?
A new computer starts read-only. Controlling the screen and apps is turned on per computer, and macOS asks once before BCD may control apps.
