Ask HN: Would you pay to have your favorite AI agents in one app?

A developer who built a terminal program nine months ago to run structured dialogues among local LLMs is asking Hacker News whether users would pay for the tool, which now has an app UI, supports local and cloud models, and includes a shared memory system. The developer said the tool currently requires API keys for cloud models and has no tool use, and is working to support pre-existing cloud subscriptions and tool use. The post asks what price and payment form — one-time purchase, subscription, or per-use — users would accept, and what they would need to see before adopting it.

About 9 months ago, I created a simple program to facilitate structured dialogues among local LLMs from the terminal. I’ve been iterating on it since. It now has an app UI, supports both local models and cloud models, and has a shared memory system. Today it requires API keys for cloud models and has no tool use. I’m working to support pre-existing cloud subscriptions and tools-use. If I publish it, would you pay for it? If so, how much and in what form e.g. one-time purchase, subscription, per-use ? If not, what would you want to see before adopting it? It’s been a lot of fun to develop and use. I’d love to see others benefit and hear feedback. If you’re already using a system like this, what are you using? Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49647573 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49647573 Points: 1 Comments: 0
