Yeah I agree, and I hesitated to buy TypingMind, but I figured the $30 or whatever was cheaper than my time.

I don’t know if it will meet your needs, but I’ve recently picked up a license to TypingMind and I use the OpenAI API - it’s a very good tool IMO.

I’d even argue that most platforms are directly adversarial to a users individual privacy. User data is such a hot commodity these days that it’s even beyond planning your own privacy, but you’re essentially farming out your data for free.

Disclosure: I use Discord and plenty of similar apps, but it’s important to protect yourself.

Very well said - opsec is definitely important.
