ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini in one app, plus Grok, Llama and 300+ more models. Pick the model that suits the job, ask it anything, and keep every conversation in one place across your phone and the web. Whizi speaks your language too: the whole app is available in 35 languages. One subscription, one chat history, no juggling five different apps. WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH WHIZI • Ask anything. Get straight answers on work, study, code, health questions, travel plans, or whatever you were about to search for. • Write faster. Draft emails, essays, posts, cover letters and reports, then ask for a shorter version, a friendlier tone, or a second opinion. • Read your files. Attach a PDF, an image, a spreadsheet export or a text file and ask what is in it, what it means, or what to do next. • Make images. Describe what you want and generate it, then save it to your photo library. • Talk out loud. Conversational voice mode listens while you speak, answers back, and lets you interrupt mid sentence the way a real conversation works. • Search the web. Search is on by default, so questions about anything current come back grounded in sources you can open and check. Turn it off for any message when you want the model to answer on its own. • Translate and explain. Move text between languages, or ask for the same answer again in plain words. PICK THE RIGHT MODEL FOR THE JOB Different models are good at different things. Whizi gives you a catalog behind one subscription, including GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Llama and DeepSeek, sorted so you can find the fast one, the careful one, or the one that reads images. Switch between them mid conversation without losing the thread, and ask again with another model when it matters. WHO USES WHIZI • Students, for homework help, research, revision notes and reading long PDFs before a deadline. • People at work, for email, meeting notes, first drafts, spreadsheets they did not write and documents they have to summarize today. • Writers and creators, for outlines, headlines, rewrites, captions and images to go with them. • Developers, for reading unfamiliar code, explaining an error, and writing the boring parts. • Anyone with a question they would rather ask in plain words than type into a search engine. YOUR CHATS FOLLOW YOU Every conversation syncs to your account, so a chat you start on your phone is waiting for you on the web. Search your history, rename a chat, or clear it out. BUILT TO BE UNDERSTOOD • Web search shows you its three sources whenever it runs, and you can turn it off for any message. • Voice mode keeps the transcript in your chat history and does not keep the raw audio. • Notifications are optional, and off until you turn them on. • You can see and delete what Whizi remembers about you, in Settings. • You can delete your account and its data from inside the app. • Send feedback straight to the people building Whizi, from Settings. PLANS Whizi is a subscription. Plans differ in how many models you can reach and how many messages, images and voice minutes are included. The exact price for your country, the billing period, and any introductory offer are all shown before you buy. Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel through the App Store.
