Private AI vs a rented tab
The $20 hosted-brain floor is real. We do not race it. We sell the hole it leaves: a unit that is yours, with memory you can open.
In August 2026, ChatGPT Plus and Claude Pro sit at $20/mo. Google’s mid tier is $10–20. Companion apps undercut that. NVIDIA will sell you a private box for about $4,000. Between the $20 seat and the $4,000 box nobody sells “your own always-on unit with memory you can audit.” That slot is where LIZ lives, at $275/mo — you are not paying for a smarter autocomplete, you are paying for a machine that is held warm for you alone.
That is the product. Not a smarter autocomplete. A dedicated process, a dedicated database, voice on the phone, text in the browser, and a language setting the owner edits. Hardware (a Spark-class box) is a separate SKU. The subscription is the concierge unit, not the GPU.
The free chat on this site is the opposite on purpose: no account, ads, prompts may train someone else’s model. Use it to see if the replies are useful. Do not put secrets in it. When you want the filing cabinet to be yours, request a LIZ seat. If you want a characterful bot installed and looked after, that is AGIME Personal AI.
We measure traffic with a cookieless counter we host ourselves. No Google tag, no Meta pixel. The chat already promises that personal data stays off the free page. A growth stack that leaked it would be a lie.
