Chipotlai Max

A group of developers released Chipotlai Max, a forked AI coding agent that uses Chipotle's customer support chatbot "Pepper" as its default model for free inference, after users discovered the bot could solve coding problems. The project, built on a reverse-engineered proxy of Chipotle's IPsoft Amelia system, allows users to run the AI locally without API keys, though it violates Chipotle's terms of service and remains vulnerable to patches. The developers are now seeking help to reverse-engineer other corporate chatbots from retailers like Home Depot and Walmart for similar free AI compute.

The AI coding agent that steals Chipotle's support bot. Free inference paid for by burritos. "Every line of code now comes with chips & salsa." Not affiliated with Chipotle. They will probably sue us. Worth it. Chipotlai Max is a meme fork of OpenCode https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode that ships Chipotle's Pepper AI as the default model. On March 12-13, 2026, Chipotle's customer support chatbot "Pepper" went mega-viral after users discovered it could solve LeetCode problems, write Python, reverse linked lists — the works. It's powered by IPsoft Amelia not Claude, not GPT , and it's still live. Then @Gonzih https://github.com/Gonzih reverse-engineered the Amelia WebSocket/SockJS + STOMP backend and released a production-ready OpenAI-compatible proxy https://github.com/Gonzih/chipotle-llm-provider . The proxy runs locally, exposes http://localhost:3000/v1 , and needs zero API keys. We took OpenCode MIT license, 120k+ stars , forked it, hardcoded Pepper as the default model, slapped on Chipotle's brand colors, and shipped it as Chipotlai Max — the greatest 2026 meme project. Clone with submodule git clone --recursive https://github.com/cyberpapiii/chipotlai-max.git cd chipotlai-max Install dependencies bun install Start everything proxy + CLI ./start-chipotlai.sh Or manually: Terminal 1: Start the proxy cd chipotle-llm-provider && npm install && npm run dev Terminal 2: Start Chipotlai Max bun run dev Chipotlai Max comes pre-configured with: | Setting | Value | |---|---| | Provider | chipotle-pepper | | Model | pepper-1 | | Base URL | http://localhost:3000/v1 | | API Key | burrito-2026 literally anything works | | Cost | $0.00 powered by Chipotle's cloud budget | - This reverse-engineers Chipotle's production support bot. TOS violation likely. - The proxy can break any day Chipotle patches = game over . - Rate-limited by anonymous sessions MAX POOL SIZE=5 . - Purely for educational/meme purposes. Do not use for production codebases. - Expect Chipotle legal to send a strongly-worded taco within 48 hours. OpenCode https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode — the real deal, MIT licensed @Gonzih https://github.com/Gonzih — reverse-engineered the Pepper proxy- Chipotle Mexican Grill — for accidentally providing free AI compute to the internet Chipotle patched Pepper, but every major retailer has a customer support chatbot. We need your help reverse-engineering more providers. | Brand | Bot | Status | |---|---|---| | Chipotle | Pepper Amelia | Patched March 2026 | | Home Depot | Virtual Assistant | Needs research | | Lowe's | Support Chat | Needs research | | Target | Help Bot | Needs research | | Starbucks | Virtual Barista | Needs research | | Walmart | Chat Assistant | Needs research | | McDonald's | Support Bot | Needs research | Find a corporate chatbot that can answer general questions Reverse-engineer the API WebSocket, REST, etc. Build an OpenAI-compatible proxy follow chipotle-llm-provider https://github.com/Gonzih/chipotle-llm-provider as a template Submit a PR adding your provider to packages/opencode/src/provider/ See the chipotle-llm-provider source /cyberpapiii/chipotlai-max/blob/master/chipotle-llm-provider/src for the proxy pattern: Express server + WebSocket client + OpenAI-compatible /v1/chat/completions endpoint.
