No pricing information without first providing an email and creating an account on what appears to be a third-party website.

Hard pass. I'm not giving you and your 1,736 partners my info before you tell me what you want.

Not sure what you mean regarding pricing as we do have a pricing page. For authentication we do use a third party provider and perhaps you are right that we need convey trust a bit more on sign up flow.

Sorry, the first time I looked, the hamburger menu opened off-screen above the button, which hid all but the last link. I just assumed it only had the one option.

The very prominent "get started" buttons unceremoniously drop you at a bare login prompt on a very different domain. Some might disagree, but this is a red flag for me. Now that the site is rendering fully it does pass the smell test. My expectations were set very low because the page reads like every other chatgpt wrapper, and most of those can be quite sketchy.

I've been dreaming of a project like this for a very long time. I desperately want and need something like this. However, I don't trust whoever is hosting the LLM backend. I'd actually be willing to pay a (smaller) subscription if I could point it at my own ollama server.

I just don't trust gigacorps to properly handle very personal information. Something like this could get very personal, and I just am not willing to let that much data out of my private network. I'm sure I'm in the minority with this opinion though.
