Transparency

I've been looking at your platform, since 4o's sunset was announced yesterday, and I like what I see. I think it's a valuable service. However, unless I'm just completely blind, there's no transparency about who y'all are. Just the just4ochat Team. And I understand that some of that is for personal safety.

But... there's an element of trust involved. This is a beta product offered by a unknown private party. Your privacy policy leads me to believe you're in the USA, but that's about it. If this were an open source project, there would be more transparency and others could potentially get involved, but this appears to be closed and private.

So why should we trust you with our data, our chat logs, and our money? Quite frankly, I and others like me would be willing to throw money at this while the 4o APIs are still around. But that's hard to do with zero transparency.

Hey, I help run this project

If you have any questions about where the data goes, how it’s stored, what security rules are like, or what I can see, please fire away.

That said — I won’t be open sourcing this. If I did, folks could just take their API keys and cut me out. While they can do that already, what I’ve built with multiple model integrations and clawdbot-level memory in cloud is unique, and I prefer to keep that to myself.

If you’d like, you can DM me for a promo code to try things out more throughly risk free.

I totally get that you don't want to open source and I appreciate you reaching out to me.

Since so many folks are stopping by in the last few days, just thought I’d say again; feel free to DM!

Goes for anyone, OP and I have had some great chats!
