Launching today
70,000 people use LumiChats in a browser and kept asking for the one thing a browser cannot do: touch their files. So we built the desktop one. It runs commands on your machine, writes real documents, and you pay only for the work you run.

Pay for what you run sounds obviously fairer than a subscription, and it has one nasty failure mode: people start rationing. The moment someone can feel the meter, they stop asking the second and third question, and those are usually the ones that get them the answer. Watch actions per session in week two against week one. If that drops, the pricing is teaching people to use it less, and "under a dollar for an afternoon" won't save you.

@asadmalik901 That's a really insightful point, Asad. It's something we've been thinking about as well. Our goal is to make costs predictable enough that people don't hesitate to use LumiChats, and we'll definitely be watching engagement patterns like actions per session. One thing we've tried to do is avoid making people feel like they're being charged for every tiny interaction—when you start a usage period, you're free to use it without constantly watching a meter. If we ever see pricing discouraging exploration, we'll iterate. Thanks for calling this out—it's genuinely valuable feedback. 🙌

@tehreem_fatima5 That's a completely fair concern. We chose to launch before the code-signing certificate was ready because there was strong demand from early users, especially researchers and scientists who wanted the desktop version as soon as possible. An OV code-signing certificate is our top priority, and we're working to get it in place as soon as we can. We're also planning to open-source the codebase, because software that can run commands on your machine should be transparent and auditable. In the meantime, LumiChats is permission-first and always asks before making changes to your system.
"A black window that expects you to already know the words" is exactly why terminal tools stay niche no matter how good they are.

@irahimiam Thanks, Arash! That line came from hearing the same frustration over and over. The goal with LumiChats is to make that same power accessible without requiring people to learn terminal commands first. Really appreciate you taking the time to read and comment! 🙌
What's the difference with Claude Cowork ?
LumiChats Offline(free)
@tacitefood Great question! Cowork is probably the closest comparison, and it's an excellent product. The main differences are that LumiChats lets you choose between running everything locally or using the cloud, supports 40+ models instead of locking you into one, and has flexible pay-as-you-go pricing with unlimited use during a day pass—no subscriptions or session limits. It's also designed to make powerful AI workflows accessible to non-developers through a simple desktop interface.
