Frequently Asked Questions
What is Converse?
Converse is a desktop application that allows you to interact with
various AI language models through a clean, intuitive interface. It's
designed to make AI assistance accessible right from your desktop
without the need to use web interfaces.
Which AI models are supported?
Converse currently supports OpenAI (GPT-3.5, GPT-4), Anthropic
(Claude), Mistral AI, and other providers through OpenRouter. You'll
need your own API keys to use these services.
Do I need to pay for using Converse?
Converse itself is free and open-source. However, you'll need to
provide your own API keys for the AI services you want to use, and
those services typically charge based on usage.
Is my data private?
Yes. Converse stores your conversation history locally on your
computer. Your API keys and conversations never leave your device
except when sent directly to the AI provider's API. We have no servers
and collect no data.
How do I get started?
Download the application, install it, and launch it. You'll be
prompted to enter API keys for the services you want to use. Once set
up, you can start creating tasks and chatting with AI models right
away.
