The goal was to build a “native” app that has a nice UI and can connect to all the different LLM providers. So basically you don’t have to pay a subscription fee and only pay as you go to the different providers.
The difference to existing apps like Typing Mind is that it actually mimics the UI from ChatGPT as close as possible. So you don’t feel like you’re using something inferior. What do you guys think?
Basically you can talk to different LLM models through their api. But all your conversation are saved locally on your computer so you don’t have to pay a subscription fee and you have all your chats in one place!
Thank you! It could actually be a frontend for local ai. Currently only Openai, Anthropic and Google are supported. But I will be adding support for lmstudio, ollama etc in the future as well!

No, the application isn’t open source, primarily because I plan to actively support and maintain it for many years to come. But it’s a one-time payment so you don’t have to pay anything after that!
You could distribute the code under a libre/open source license with the program after someone buys it. Open source doesn’t mean the code is public, just that the users have rights to access and change the code.
How would I go about doing that though? If I give the users an open source license on purchase, compilation and reselling will be pretty easy to do and I don’t want that to happen for something I worked very hard on.

And what does your program do?

So, something like Duck.ai, the built-in AI frontend of DuckDuckGo? duck.ai Nice, but why would anyone pay for it?
Yes similar but not quite the same. You can see the features here: https://anylm.app/
I love the gtk ui. I wish it was a frontend for a local ai but I’m not complaining :) i love it still. Kudos!

Is it cross-platform?
Currently only Windows is supported. But because it’s flutter under the hood, I will be expanding to other platforms shortly!
Is it open source?

They could resell the binary anyways.
I applaud this program, exactly what we’ve all been looking for.
Looks like many of the comments identifying it have been removed.
Thank you.
Looks a lot likehttps://github.com/open-webui/open-webui
I’m using it with open router, helps me claw back a little privacy
Assuming that those providers don’t store your chats (which they certainly do). Also no mention of locally hosted models?
If you just want to connext to llms then SillyTavern can also do that, for free.
