Chat 1‑on‑1: Prefer a single model? Switch to individual chat for focused conversations and follow‑ups. Go beyond text (Pro): Attach photos for vision analysis. Attach documents (like PDFs) for analysis. Generate images with multiple models (Pro) Save your work: Sign in with Google or Apple to keep your conversations and access them across devices. You can also use the app as a guest (with limited features). Privacy & control: Your inputs may be processed by AI providers to generate responses. You can delete your account and data from the app at any time. Subscription (Council Pro): Council includes an optional auto‑renewing subscription: Weekly and Yearly plans. Pro unlocks unlimited queries, attachments, conversation history, and image generation. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.
