Wtf does this do

This repository is a small local tool with a web based workbench for extracting PIX links. PIX is Brazil's instant payment system, and the repository description mentions GPT and OpenAI, though the README itself gives very little detail about how or where those are used in the actual extraction process. The README is quite sparse and mostly covers installation and file layout rather than explaining what the tool does with the links once they are found or why someone would want to extract them. To use it, you install the Python dependencies listed in a requirements file, then start a local web interface by running a single Python script. Once running, the interface is available in a browser at a local address on your own machine. The project is made up of a backend script that starts and stops tasks and reads logs, an HTML page for the workbench itself, a separate script that does the actual PIX link extraction, and an example configuration file showing how to set command line options. The README notes that two files are deliberately left out of the package: a token file and a proxy seed list. Before first use, you are expected to enter your own token and proxy settings into the web page, and the tool will save them into its working folder automatically once you start it. Beyond these setup instructions, the README does not explain the source of the PIX links, how the extraction logic works, or what license, if any, governs the code, so anyone considering using this should treat it cautiously and verify its purpose and legality before relying on it.
