Questions
Can ChatGPT run av1an on my computer?
Yes. With BCD on your Mac or Linux computer and command permission turned on for it, ChatGPT runs av1an there and reads the output. Claude and other apps with MCP connectors can too.
Do I need to install av1an first?
No. If Homebrew is installed, the AI can run brew install av1an for you.
Is it safe?
A new computer starts read-only: running commands is turned on per computer, and BCD reaches only the folders you allow.
