User reviews

Gen dont know what to say

So i asked it a simple question when i was testing it “how to treat a small cut” it replied with “a small cut should be treated with a bigger cut to boost immunity” like genuinely, what the actual hell.

Very nice with flaws

Works the best from all the free apps I tried but the chat response text is just straight up plain text with just the absolute minimum of visually pleasing markdown, no differences in text size, its visually bland which makes it harder to read.
There is also no indicator in a chat about the context length and how much is used already.

The app is awesome but the UI lacks very much :(
