- i'd argue that a tool like this could become indispensable by enhancing the productivity of internet users who spend significant amounts of time completing online tasks (remote workers), and browsing for information, such as researchers, journalists, or academics

- the tool has the potential to act as a single point of interaction that enhances other online tools and services

- and it's pretty cool and convenient having your own "Jarvis" on the browser

- Regarding monetization, adopting a hybrid model could indeed be beneficial. Starting with a freemium model to build user trust and demonstrate value, followed by premium features for power users, could be a strategic approach

I'll look into giving out free licenses in my next post

btw love the feedback, much appreciated

Thanks. I admire anyone who starts up something in this business climate. :)

Your comments make sense. :) I think you're going to be fighting against free or almost free alternatives such as OpenAI models API pennies per search etc etc. Also there are a number of browser plugins like Kagi.com (freemium) which already offer some AI functionality alongside other features.

The only way you'll win is to convince prospective buyers with compelling use cases, and you'll only find that through users who give feedback. Another reason for some sort of trial period or freemium option?

Anyway good luck. I wish you well in your quest.

Thanks alot!
