    I'm lost between ChatGPT vs Claude vs Gemini... which subscriptions to take? With Cursor and all these specific AI tools, I just wanted one simple chat app where I can use any model and pay only when I use it. Couldn't find one, so I built one. Pay only for what you use. Your prompts and docs, knowledge bases work with every model - no more copy-pasting between apps. Started as a personal project, but thought someone else might benefit from this too. https://prismharmony.com/chat What do you think?

    I keep running in the same problem of each AI app “remembers” me in its own silo. ChatGPT knows my project details, Cursor forgets them, Claude starts from zero… so I end up re-explaining myself dozens of times a day across these apps. The deeper problem 1. Not portable – context is vendor-locked; nothing travels across tools. 2. Not relational – most memory systems store only the latest fact (“sticky notes”) with no history or provenance. 3. Not yours – your AI memory is sensitive first-party data, yet you have no control over where it lives or how it’s queried. Demo video:…

    Hey HN, I'm excited to share AnyLM, a desktop app I've been working on. I love tinkering with local LLMs (via Ollama and LMStudio) but often found myself wishing for a more polished, unified UI similar to what ChatGPT offers, where all my conversations are in one place. Out of that frustration I've built AnyLM, which aims to solve that by providing a single, native application (currently for Windows, with macOS and more planned) to interact with your local models from LM Studio/Ollama but also models from api providers like OpenAI, Anthropic and Google. This has been a fun (and…
