Local AI Chat - pocket

It’s a beautiful app which attracted me to it, however I’m not paying for a beautiful UI when other free apps deliver 2x more functionality (e.g. the real value) and the same local models for free. They haven’t found their unique value so they are just throwing a paywall in a cash grab without thinking through what problem they are uniquely solving. Make all the local OSS models free (also add some of the heavier models a 16 pro can run) and build really good tools/integrations then run a freemium model on all the extra features and tools. Give me web search, cloud image models, connectors into Google Drive, Notion, etc. I will pay for that.

Very nice app. I’m paying for premium. I love the research feature for learning about something thoroughly. That’s unique enough to make me pay for it. I do think there really needs to be a focus on improving the text to speech so that text can be read out loud with a better model. This only works sometimes to begin with/may be very slow, and the voice is pretty bad. Pls work on that and I’ll continue paying.

I guess it’s OK but most language models completely back out. If you ask them something more complex for an example I have got the high resource model installed on my device and the moment I ask you to speak German, it just completely breaks and spams Abu Dhabi. I guess it is quite a cool app, but it definitely needs some more improvement.
