FAQ
Is it really free?
Yes. The models run on your computer. No per-message cost, no subscription, no limit. Your only cost is electricity.
Can it read my files?
Only if you want it to. You can upload a document to the chat for the AI to analyze, but nothing leaves your computer. Close the chat and the files are gone.
