The goal is:<br><br> <strong>“stop refusing every borderline or research prompt, but still block clearly harmful stuff.”</strong></p> <h2> Why I built it </h2> <p>When I started playing with different LLM APIs, I kept running into the same pattern:</p> <ul> <li>I’d write a prompt for something perfectly legitimate (e.g. security testing, fiction, simulations).</li> <li>The model would respond with some variation of <em>“I’m sorry, I can’t help with that”</em>.</li> <li>I’d spend more time fighting the guardrails than working on the actual idea.</li> </ul> <h2> What it does right now </h2> <p>Trying to keep v1 small and focused:</p> <ul> <li>Web chat interface </li> <li>Simple REST API for chat completions </li> <li>API keys + usage dashboard </li> <li>Small free tier so you can kick the tires </li> <li>Basic quickstart examples (curl)</li> </ul> webdev ai programming
