**Open Interpreter** lets language models run code.

You can chat with Open Interpreter through a ChatGPT-like interface in your terminal by running `interpreter` after installing.

This provides a natural-language interface to your computer's general-purpose capabilities:

* Create and edit photos, videos, PDFs, etc.
* Control a Chrome browser to perform research
* Plot, clean, and analyze large datasets
* ...etc.

<br />

<Info>You can also build Open Interpreter into your applications with [our Python package.](/usage/python/arguments)</Info>
