Switch to Gotchi
Stop renting AI. Start owning it.
Cloud AI costs scale with usage, caps slow you down, and your data ends up on someone else's server. Gotchi gives you the same capabilities - locally, unlimited, for one flat price.
Why switch
What you gain by going local
Moving from cloud AI to Gotchi isn't a compromise - it's an upgrade in the ways that matter most.
No usage limits
No rate limits, no daily caps, no "you've reached your limit" banners. Use AI as much as you want, whenever you want.
Total data privacy
Your prompts, documents, and conversations never leave your machine. No training on your data, no third-party access.
Works offline
No internet dependency. Your AI works on planes, in tunnels, behind firewalls, and during outages. Always available.
Instant responses
No network latency. Local inference on Apple Silicon delivers responses as fast as your hardware allows - often faster than cloud round-trips.
No vendor lock-in
Switch models freely. Your conversations and data live in open formats on your disk. No walled gardens, no export hassles.
The real cost of cloud AI
Cloud AI costs more than you think
A ChatGPT Plus subscription costs $240/year. Claude Pro is $360/year. API power users easily spend $50–60/month. And in return, your conversations may be used to improve their models. With Gotchi, one flat plan covers unlimited inference - you own everything and run models that rival GPT-4 class performance for most tasks.

Migration
Switching takes minutes, not days
There's nothing to migrate. Install Gotchi, download a model, and start chatting. Your cloud conversations stay where they are - Gotchi starts fresh with a clean, private workspace. If you want to bring existing documents into Gotchi's knowledge base, just drop them into a folder and let the indexer handle the rest.

Common questions from switchers
Are local models good enough?
Yes. Llama 3.3 70B, DeepSeek-R1, and Qwen 2.5 72B rival GPT-4 on most benchmarks. For coding, writing, and analysis, the gap has closed dramatically.
Do I need a powerful machine?
Apple Silicon (M1 or later) or a Windows machine with a modern GPU runs 7B–13B models smoothly. Higher-end hardware handles 34B–70B models with excellent speed.
Can I still use cloud AI?
Of course. Gotchi doesn't replace cloud services - it gives you a private alternative. Use both if you want. There's no lock-in either way.
