Make it an Android and iOS app, get it published in the respective stores, add cross-device sync, and then you'll have a comparable proposition.

That is, when I will be able to tell my friends to look up that Gerbil app and use that on their phone instead of ChatGPT when there's no service.

Can you post them here?
