Set up Tesseract for ChatGPT.

ChatGPT desktop app · Local workspace

  1. 01

    Install the official plugin

    Open the Tesseract plugin listing linked above and install the plugin published by Mirage. Use the desktop app with local execution.

  2. 02

    Let your agent set up the runtime

    Start a local session with access to your media folder. Ask the agent to follow the Tesseract installation guide, install the matching runtime for your computer, and verify it runs.

  3. 03

    Make a first project

    Ask ChatGPT to use Tesseract with your footage. Review the preview, give it a revision, and render the finished video.

Prefer to install skills directly?

One command adds guidance for editing footage and creating motion graphics. Your agent handles runtime setup when you start your first project.

Tesseract supports Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, and 64-bit Windows 10 or later. Use an agent with local file and tool access. Linux is also supported; check the requirements for your runtime release. ChatGPT Mobile and supported hosted agents can run Tesseract in their own environments.

Install with one command

npx skills add mirage-hq/Tesseract

Run this in your terminal, then choose both Tesseract skills and your agent. Requires Node.js/npm for the installer.

Your agent will follow the skills’ guide to install the matching runtime. If you already installed the plugin, you don’t need the skills separately.

Read the installation instructions on GitHub →

Start small. Make a change you can see.

Give ChatGPT a short clip and a clear brief. Review the first render, then ask for a different title, a tighter cut, or a change to the mix.

Create an original video with music and storyboard references →

Try this brief

Use Tesseract to make a 10-second video from the footage in this folder. Start with a strong opening, add a short animated title, and keep the dialogue clear. Show me a preview before the final render. Keep the Tesseract project editable so we can revise the timing, graphics, and sound.

Adobe project conversion

Work with your Adobe projects.

Ask ChatGPT to import a Premiere Pro or After Effects project into Tesseract, or export a Tesseract project for an Adobe editor. Conversion is part of the Tesseract skill workflow.

If your agent does not recognize project conversion, check that its Tesseract plugin or skills are up to date and start a new conversation. Give it the source project and linked media so it can check what transfers.

Explore project conversion

Support is partial; After Effects export is experimental. See what transfers.

Try a conversion

Use Tesseract to import this Premiere Pro project and its linked media. List its sequences so I can choose one, explain any conversion limitations, and show me a preview before making changes. Keep the original project unchanged.

Before your first render.

Can I create from my phone?

Yes. ChatGPT Mobile can run Tesseract in its hosted environment. Use the ChatGPT Mobile guide to get started, share your media, and keep the editable project with the final video.

Will it use my own footage?

Yes. Give the local agent access to your footage, images, screen recordings, and audio. Tell it which files to use and what kind of result you want.

Do I need both the plugin and the skills?

No. Install the plugin or both Tesseract skills; they provide the same creative guidance. The agent then follows that guidance to install the matching local runtime. Use the skills command if your supported local agent does not offer the plugin listing.

Where can I find runtime and setup help?

The Tesseract local setup guide covers compatibility, project folders, restarting after installation, and checking that the runtime can preview and render. Follow the version-specific instructions supplied with the official release.
