A Turkish developer adapted Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and Grok to work with the original Nokia 6300 by routing chatbot APIs through a Go server that truncates replies for the phone; the app, renamed Aikon, is open sourced but unusable in the US because the country's last 2G network shut down in August.

Summary

AI-assisted summary of the linked source

Emir Karşıyakalı posted about Aikon in late September, describing a Go backend that holds API keys for Anthropic, Google, OpenAI or SpaceXSI and breaks chatbot replies into 8kB blocks the Nokia 6300 can render; the app supports a reading mode for the phone's 240x320 display, saves messages for up to 30 days and is open sourced on GitHub.
