One of the common failures of technical founders with marketing is that they explain what a product does, and not specifically what it does for users. When looking at these groups, we have to see what is important and common for innovators and early adopters: ChatGPT has a cost So while everything in this document is accurate towards what Jan is great at and why it is relevant, the messaging can be fine tuned to more closely resemble the fact that most users/businesses don't want to pay for LLM, are highly concerned with privacy (especially for businesses and US-based users), ChatGPT is really restricted, and most users don't know which LLM is best to use. "Jan is free to use, taps into multiple LLMs so you don't have to choose, has a wider range of capabilities than a single LLM, and is private and secure to your local server or computer" |

I think Jan should position itself as a hub for AI tools that can be accessible from anywhere, including computers, phones, and browsers. There is already a lot of competition between huge companies, as they often end up copying and adding features that most start-ups come up with. And people just stop using these apps and prefer these big companies. However, the biggest disadvantage of these big companies is that they can only offer their own services. This is where Jan jumps in. If we want Jan to not be affected by these companies and their almost unlimited money, Jan should offer users the ability to use any tool they want. Jan should offer; ChatGPT, Google Bard, Microsoft Co-Pilot / Dall-E, Stable Diffusion, or any LLM / MLLM that users want to download and use offline in one place. I hope you can see my point. If Jan (or any other app) wants to survive in this harsh area, it should constantly integrate these tools and get benefit from. That will make Jan Future-proof. Otherwise, one day, a big tech company could release an app or add a feature that makes Jan functionless. If the core feature of Jan is running it locally and offline, there is a high possibility of losing its functionality in the future. So, my take on this discussion; Jan should be the ultimate tool that effortlessly/easily usable to regular users, offers detailed functionality to power users, and allows enterprises to build their own solutions with it. |

À maybe stupid comment but I tried several apps to test gpt and else and all of them miss one thing. A search into prompt. So I have to launch new prompt everytime and sometimes I know I ask for it 20 times already but without a way to search I won't be able to find my previous prompt. |

I'd like to create an open discussion on how we should position Jan.
Why is this a concern?

I would break down Jan's current "word-of-mouth" value propositions, by Crossing the Chasm populations.

One important note: we are having a bunch of teething issues on Windows, but these are being rapidly fixed and I anticipate Windows will be fairly stable by end-Jan.
