These multi modal LLMs are too expensive to run for that


The problem is that it's really easy to say 'blah blah our service can do xyz' but we know all too well that when using LLMs most often it doesn't live up to the hype (worse still you know different users will get different diagrams from the same source).

The 'trust us, give us your money, it'll work' model isn't viable given the current state-of-the-art of LLMs.


You are absolutely right, and thank you for the direct feedback. Forcing a sign-up before demonstrating value is a poor experience, and we're sorry.

It’s clear we got this part wrong initially. It was feedback exactly like yours that prompted us to fix this.

We have now added a no-login trial so you can test the tool without creating an account. We know we have to earn your trust, and this is a direct result of learning from our early users. Thank you for taking the time to help us get better.


Thank you!


Are you saying they want to reduce the number of people trying it out with friction?


That's a fair question, but our goal is the exact opposite. We want as many users as possible to try the service.

The challenge was that the costs associated with the initial free trials went beyond what our team could sustain. The recent changes are our attempt to fine-tune our model to find a balance.

Our goal is to offer a service that is both accessible for users to try and financially sustainable for us to operate and improve long-term.
