Never hits a wall
Free tiers run out. Zhunt notices, rests that model, and retries on the next healthy free model before you see an error, then tells you exactly what happened.

Every AI model.
Free first.
Zhunt answers with the best free AI model available right now and switches the instant one runs out, so you stop paying for tokens. Bots that work as a team, windows you can arrange, and nothing between you and the model.

Talk to it
Press the mic and speak. Free speech-to-text turns it into your message.
Yours, on your computer

Questions
Good to know
Is it really free?
Yes. Zhunt uses the free tiers that AI providers offer (Groq, Google, Cerebras and others) with your own free keys, and moves to the next one when a limit is reached. You only pay if you choose Pro and add a paid key for premium models.
Can zhunt see my prompts?
No. Zhunt runs on your computer and sends each request directly to the provider it picks; there is no zhunt server in between. That provider receives your prompt under its own terms, as if you used it directly.
Do any free providers train on my prompts?
Some free tiers say they may. Zhunt labels them and keeps them off unless you switch them on, which adds capacity (including a provider that needs no key at all).
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You run one install command once; everything else happens in the app, including adding keys.
What does Pro add?
When every free model is busy, Pro steps up to a premium model (Claude, GPT or Gemini Pro) using your own paid key, under a monthly spending cap you choose. Everything else is free.
How do I cancel?
Any time before renewal, from the billing link in your Stripe receipt. Pro keeps working to the end of the paid period, and the free version keeps working after that.
