User reviews

Heavily sanitized and infantilizing but quick for basic facts

No recursive memory or ability to build any continuity in voice mode, as well as very infantilizing interactions… probably the worst AI for this, but it is quick with basic needs and can handle substantial information parsing

Unreliable and expensive

Long-term memory or even short-term within a chat of less than 50,000 words is sketchy and works sometimes and not other others.
Pre-subscription is expensive and still requires you to buy tokens and yet it cannot follow communication protocols set out in the same chat. It hallucinates it generalises it does not follow explicit instructions. Reliably.
It worked well for the first two months but has declined Support is another AI chat via email and human response takes 7 to 10 days.

it’s too expensive for its Performance and too unreliable for the cost and the lack of support.
