Hey. Not a company, no investors, just one guy who’s spent the last while building a private AI chat. The idea was simple: no account, no email, no tracking, your history stays on your device. You open it and start typing, that’s it. I’ll be upfront about the downside, because I hate when people hide it: it doesn’t run the big frontier models like the latest ChatGPT or Claude. It uses open-weight models on providers that don’t train on your data. So it’s not the smartest AI on the planet. It competes on privacy, honesty and a fair price, not raw horsepower. And here’s where I’m stuck, which is why I’m posting. The stuff people seem to want most (an AI that remembers you, one that doesn’t make things up) leans hard on having a giant model, which is exactly the thing I traded away. So instead of guessing, I’d rather just ask you: If you’ve ever wanted a private or no-account AI, what would actually make you use it (or switch to it)? What does the AI you use now do that drives you up the wall? What’s a flat-out dealbreaker for you? I’m not here to sell anything, I genuinely want to build the right thing instead of copying whatever ChatGPT shipped last week. Brutally honest answers welcome, I can take it. submitted by /u/NOLO-App
