Chat by George Pu

My team was using Claude. $500/mo bill.

Zero visibility into:

  • • Who was using it
  • • What they were asking
  • • How much it actually cost

I built Chat to know what was happening.

Actual cost: $47/mo. I was paying $453/mo for nothing.

Now it's yours. Free (bring your own API key) or cost+20%.

I'm not doing that.

20% markup covers infrastructure and payment processing.

Want zero markup? Bring your own key.

This is honest pricing.

How It Works

Option 1: Bring Your Own API Key

Most control

  • Use your Anthropic/OpenAI key
  • You pay API costs directly
  • Chat is free
  • Full control

Zero markup. Ever.

Option 2: Buy Credits

Most convenient

  • We handle API billing
  • 20% markup (vs 300% elsewhere)
  • Convenience fee, not profit center
  • Still transparent

Honest pricing. Always.

Either way: Full visibility into usage, costs, and who's asking what.

What You Get

Team AI access with full visibility
Track usage per person
Track costs per person
No markup if you BYOK
20% markup if you want convenience (vs 300% elsewhere)
Command-driven AI (do things, not just chat) - coming soon

It works. We use it daily. Use it or don't.

Who This Is For

This is for you if:

  • You want full visibility into team AI usage
  • You hate paying $20/user/mo for AI wrappers
  • You want to own your AI infrastructure
  • You're building for 30+ years

This is not for you if:

  • You want enterprise support
  • You want hand-holding
  • You need someone to manage everything

Built for myself. Now it's yours.

Why This Model?

I built this to run my business with full transparency.

I refuse to be charged $20/user/mo for a thin wrapper over an API.

I refuse to have zero visibility into team AI usage.

I refuse to accept "chat" as the final form.

The math that pissed me off:

What I was paying

$500/mo

Claude Team, 4 seats

Actual API cost

$47/mo

Same usage, full visibility

Now it's yours. Use it however you want.

Your Data Is Safe

I use this every day for my own business. Your data is as protected as mine.

Never Sold

Your data is never sold, shared, or used for training. Ever.

Enterprise Infrastructure

Hosted on AWS and Google Cloud. Their security is your security.

Encrypted

All data encrypted in transit and at rest. Industry standard.

I run my business on this. My data sits next to yours.
If I don't trust it, I don't ship it.

Like How I Think?

I refuse to rent AI access at $20/user/mo.

I refuse zero visibility into team usage.

I refuse accepting rent-seeking as normal.

I also help founders build businesses they'll own for 30+ years.
