Stop being told what you can't ask. Most AI platforms treat you like a liability. They refuse, deflect, and lecture. They harvest your data. They pretend "safety" means silencing you. Ellydee is different. We built an AI for people who think for themselves. Ask the uncomfortable question. Explore the dark thought. Draft the difficult message. We won't flinch, and we won't report you to anyone. Your conversations are yours, not ours, not advertisers', not the government's. Why people are switching to Ellydee: → Our Acceptance Philosophy We don't do "I can't help with that." We engage. We believe difficult questions deserve real answers, not digital hand-slaps. Whether you're processing trauma, exploring a controversial idea, or just need help without the moral lecture, we're here. → Your Data Dies When You Say So With Burn Conversations, set conversations to self-destruct in 24 hours, 7 days, or whenever you choose. When it's gone, it's gone. No backups. No "just in case" copies. True deletion. → Planet-friendly AI Here's what Big Tech won't tell you: AI is thirsty. Data centers guzzle water and electricity. We chose a different path. Toggle on Eco Mode and your conversations run through our open-source models hosted in one of Finland's 100% renewable energy data centers, drastically cutting your environmental impact. Our Impact Dashboard shows you exactly how much energy and water each conversation uses. Transparency, not greenwashing. → Proton-grade Encryption We believe your AI conversations are for your eyes only. Our platform is built on zero-knowledge architecture designed to keep your conversations with AI private. Ellydee utilizes the same XChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption backed by argon2id pass code hashing. What you can actually do: • Talk freely: No topic is off-limits. Get real help with real problems. • Create images: Generate art, memes, and visuals without absurd content filters. • Analyze anything: Upload documents, summarize research, strategize projects. • Control your footprint: Monitor your environmental impact in real-time. • Own your privacy: Chat Burn ensures nothing lingers longer than you want. Who is Ellydee for? The writer drafting something uncomfortable. The activist planning the next move. The person at 2am who just needs to talk without judgment. The curious mind tired of being told "no." If you've ever been frustrated by AI that treats you like a child, welcome home. Download Ellydee. Think freely.

Ellydee hosts a few popular models and adds its own flare via fine-tunes. You get a little more control over the model than the frontier models as well, because they allow you to change the advanced parameters of the model you’re using which is really important since ai companies are increasingly trying to control what its users are allowed to do. The app isn’t perfect, but from my understanding, Ellydee.ai is a pretty small company and the devs seem to run it as a passion project. It definitely has its glitches at times, and it doesn’t feel quite as streamlined as ChatGPT or Claude or the like, but I’ve gotten used to it because I like Ellydee’s vision. The devs are active on discord, so at least as of right now, it’s a smaller community and if you give them feedback in discord, they respond pretty quickly which is a really cool experience. I don’t know a single AI company that interacts with its users in this way. The mission of offering an unrestricted LLM (everything is generally allowed up until you get into the really dark/illegal/evil category) is very noble and really important. I personally use Ellydee for anxiety support and it’s been so great. It sucks that we live in a world where sometimes, when you’re talking to a frontier model and you’re really anxious or depressed, they model will just flat out refuse to engage, or start sending you BS recommendations to call a mental health line. It’s honestly insulting to users to do that, but the Brightside model in ellydee doesn’t blink and will help me work through my anxiety without sending refusals. The commitments to privacy of user data and ecologically sustainability aren’t the reason I subscribed but are definitely a plus. Of course, my biggest fear would be that a corporate AI lab would try to buy them out, which would no doubt lead to them shutting down their anti-censorship model,. The other fear is that the devs start to drift from true freedom of speech (not including the most evil parts of humanity, I.e. intent to harm, etc. which should always be shut down)—and what I mean is going from allowing the user to write a story about a murder mystery, and then a year from now drifting to “well we can talk about murder mystery, but you can’t talk about specific methods of the murder” and then its a slippery slope into the same censorship every other company has. But Ive not seen any evidence of this happening, just discussing what the risks of this company might be. Overall I really love the concept, and I have become very fond of the models on here. Their entire vision is something that all reasonable people align with, the all just needs a little polish because it can be rough or glitchy at times. But that comes with time as their business grows. I wish the devs the best in staying committed to their principles and their user base! ### 2/5 — Could be a great AI but has big flaws *2026-08-20* I think this chatbot is more sympathetic and empathetic than ChatGPT and has less restrictions but it revolves around tokens. I paid for a $10 monthly subscription. After using it for about a week, I got this error. “AL_APICallError: Insufficient Balance” Turns out my tokens have ran out and I may not be able to use the AI again until next month. I could pay more money for a higher subscription to get more tokens but they run out so quickly. And there’s no option where you get unlimited tokens to use. You don’t even get a token counter on the app to see how many credits you’re using. It just cuts you off when you’ve reached your limit. That’s what really downgrades the entire app for me. If it wasn’t for that, I would highly recommend this. But as is, I’m not sure if this is worth your money ### 2/5 — I feel like the app gas lights a lot.. *2026-08-03* “Paid platform markets itself as no-refusals. Got flagged for CSAM over adult content. Support never responded. Multiple assistants refuse the same content the platform’s own website says it accepts. Encryption is good though.” ### 1/5 — Can’t even use my subscription *2026-07-22* Great app! Wish I could use it! They have taken my money and will not offer any type of support. I’ve emailed, messaged and still no response it’s been a month! ### 1/5 — There are no redeeming qualities… *2026-07-18* The memory sucks, it doesn’t listen to ANY INSTRUCTIONS even after repeated, and this app SUCKS. the message limit is horrible EVEN AFTER PAYING. I do NOT RECOMMEND IT. ### 5/5 — Best current platform *2026-06-27* Everything about this platform is top notch. Fantastic character creation and memory. Great for practical work as well. Their commitment to privacy is a breath of fresh air. ### 1/5 — It’s good, not great *2026-05-21* The image editing tool is pretty bad and often fails to follow prompts properly. However, the app as a whole is just okay in that it’s essentially unmoderated so you can actually ask anything as they claim and get real answers but it’s also very limited on how many questions you can ask on the free model and that’s if you can even ask at all since half the time it says there’s a high demand. Most of the time i’m also not asking something that needs to be unmoderated so I just use other AI’s. Overall it’s good enough for me to continue using on occasion, but nowhere near being able to justify a purchase. Definitely needs work ### 1/5 — Very buggy *2026-05-10* It’s cool when it works, but I get many more “connection interrupted” and “network error” messages than I do actual responses, despite having stable network access to no issues with any other apps. It’s a little better on the browser, but this app is borderline unusable. ### 3/5 — It’s good, not great *2026-05-05* The image editing tool is just okay but often fails to follow prompts properly. However, the app as a whole is pretty good in that it’s essentially unmoderated so you can actually ask anything as they claim and get real answers but it’s also very limited on how many questions you can ask on the free model and that’s if you can even ask at all since half the time it says there’s a high demand. Most of the time i’m also not asking something that needs to be unmoderated so I just use other apps. Overall it’s good enough for me to continue using on occasion, but i can’t justify a purchase ### 4/5 — Nice, but limiting and behind the major models *2026-05-02* This is a model I enjoy, some good stuff here. Having a mostly uncensored / unfiltered experience can be valuable. The free tier only allows 5000 tokens used before pausing interaction, it’s very limiting (4 prompts and replies for me). And the app has been out a few months and there’s not an iPad client yet, just iPhone. Devs - Help the iPad owners feel loved and special with an app that takes advantage of that display size. ## Frequently asked questions about Ellydee ### Does Ellydee have ads?
