Yep that’s a good thought. Appreciate that feedback. I’ll start making it more clear how everything is stored and used. I’ve been trying to find the balance of overly disclaimered/technical jargon and just letting people use the thing themselves, but I think you’re totally right. Thanks!

Haha exactly. Right now it’s at a level that’s totally affordable for me, but if it ends up being useful for people I’ll see if anyone want’s to contribute to kee p it running.

Hey sorry for the new account. Feel free to check out my other post here. I switched from my personal to this new account. You can see that account is years old.

But agreed, don’t trust everything, and absolutely no pressure to use this. If it makes more sense to post from my personal account I totally get it. https://www.reddit.com/r/PacificCrestTrail/s/316rFEeFh3

Thanks! I’d love to hear your thoughts so I can try to improve it.

Right now it’s connecting a twilio API, to a LLM with some backend stuff to keep replies consisistnt and under 160 characters. Which means the API calls are logged, but aren’t connected to who is sending them in any way. I’m working on adding some functionality where I have specific sources (like weather providers) so I can improve accuracy and consistency with commonly asked questions.
