    Hi HN, I built this out of frustration of the evergrowing list of AI models and features to try and to fit my workflow. The visual approach clicks for me so i went with it, it provides more freedom and control of the outcome, because predictable results and increased productivity is what I’m after when using conversational AI. The app is packed with features, my most used are prompt library, voice input and text search, narration is useful too. The app is local-first and works right in the browser, no sign up needed and it's absolutely free to try. BYOAK – bring your own API Keys. Let me…

I will argue against any topic. What do you want to debate? You: AI will take away most jobs from humans. AI: I understand your concern about AI taking away jobs…

    Machato is a tiny ChatGPT client that supports all basic features, and more ! I was frustrated with other native implementations that focused on quick access but didn't give easy access to a history of what has been said. Since ChatGPT is a learning tool for me, I'm always ruffling through past conversations. The client supports markdown rendering as well as LaTeX. Feel free to try it out ! For those who see this thread early, you can use the promo code EARLY_BIRD to get a free lifetime license. Let me know if some aspects can be improved or if there are features you'd like to see…
