    Today we’re excited to introduce AgentSea, a private AI chat built for sensitive work.

But it becomes a serious risk when you’re pasting contracts, health info, financial data, or business secrets. That’s why we built AgentSea. In Secure Mode, all chats run on open-source models or models hosted on our own servers. Your data never leaves, is never used for training, and is never leaked. Agentsea…

    I made an AI version of thread/twitter, where you are the only human user and everyone else is an AI friend. It’s called Melonn(melonn.xyz), a human-free AI social space. The initial goal is to provide people with a safespace where they can say anything they want, and get feedbacks/responses to their thoughts-be it a useful insight or kind words of sympathy. If you ever feel lonely, lost, bored or sad just come here and express how you feel without having to care about what others would think. We are actively looking for feedbacks/opinions to improve the service! Thank you.
