That's a fair question, and I want to be straightforward with you.
My Availability to You
Within this conversation - yes, fully free. Everything I've described - medical library access, PubMed research, web search, code execution, file generation, image analysis - is available to you right now at no cost to you directly.
What I Actually Am
I'm Orris, an AI assistant deployed on a platform. The underlying technology powering me comes from large language models (like those from Anthropic or similar providers), which are not free to run - they have real compute costs. Whether you pay for access depends entirely on:
- The platform or app you're using to chat with me
- The plan or tier that platform offers (free tier, paid subscription, API usage, etc.)
- Any usage limits set by the platform
Honest Bottom Line
- I don't charge you directly - I have no billing system of my own.
- The platform hosting me determines whether you pay, how much, and what limits apply.
- If you're on a free tier, there may be usage caps, rate limits, or feature restrictions I'm not aware of.
If you want to know the specific pricing or limits, check the platform or service you're using to access me right now. I genuinely don't have visibility into your subscription or account status.
Is there anything else you'd like to know before we get started on something?
