Three random services only, and "AI" for some reasons...

Pidgin at least supports service plugins and many more protocols, and doesn't have AI, which is a big plus when we're talking about private messaging.

AI feeding into a "private" database, so after the keylogger sends everything to OpenAI you can have a garbage summary!

Or if it uses a local model, enjoy the warmth and sound of your GPU while it consumes all of your system resources for instant messaging on, well, as you put it, three random services

but you know he tried Beeper!!!

Our users (including top founders and VCs) usually trust us with the AI features because it saves time and thinking.

However, you can turn off the AI features if you're into full privacy. :)

I think marketing for AI should always start off with "Includes opt-in AI features should you want them" instead of just "HEY WE HAVE AI" I feel like it would make a lot of people close the browser tab much later than expected.

		I'm one who loves some of the AI stuff after being a skeptic, but I see a LOT of immediate hatred for it, sadly even when it is purely opt-in (as it should be tbh).

I like to think myself, not have AI do it for me ;)
