Teens - get an AI powered study companion to discuss topics, write stories, and learn how to sift through the results to determine what is helpful and what is not. Parents - give your kids access to bots you customize with low cost AI models. Sift out any unwanted content or topics and access the conversations to discuss them with your teen. No chat history can be cleared. Optionally get notified every time your teen communicates with a bot. Not sure you trust the app? Feel free to read the source code on github if you would like to know how it works. https://github.com/tpaulshippy/bots Cost. The reality is that Amazon charges a fraction of a cent for every word sent and received to these AI models. There are three subscription options in this app -- 1. Free. Usage limit of approximately 3,000 words daily for the default model (Nova Lite). 2. $1 per month. Usage limit ranging from approximately 300,000 words daily from the default model (Nova Lite) to 20,000 words daily from the higher cost models. 3. $5 per month. Usage limit ranging from approximately 1.6 million words daily from the default model (Nova Lite) to 100,000 words daily from the higher cost models. Here is a chart of Amazon's current pricing: Model Price per 1,000 tokens (words) Nova Micro $0.000035 (in) $0.00014 (out) Nova Lite $0.00006 (in) $0.00024 (out) All the latest pricing info can be found at https://aws.amazon.com/bedrock/pricing/ This app will rate limit your usage daily based on the monthly cost divided by 31. So if you are paying $5 monthly you will be able to use a maximum of 16 cents worth of tokens per day. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
