## What is ChitChat?

ChitChat is an AI chat app that runs in your browser at [chitchat.invomagic.com](https://chitchat.invomagic.com/). You bring your own API keys for Claude, Gemini, GPT, Grok, Mistral, or hundreds of models on OpenRouter, and you pay the providers directly. No markup, no subscription.

A few things make it different:

* **Your chats stay with you.** Conversations, projects, and settings are saved in your browser, not on our servers.
* **You pick the model, every message.** Switch between providers mid-conversation and compare their answers.
* **The extras run on your own Cloudflare account.** Syncing between devices, voice chat, and the proxy that makes some providers work are all small pieces you deploy yourself, usually on Cloudflare's free plan. We'll walk you through each one.

## What can it do?

Beyond regular chatting, ChitChat has:

* **Coding Mode**, a workspace where the AI edits real files, keeps a version history, and shows a live preview of web pages.
* **Deep Research**, which plans out a question, searches the web over several rounds, and writes up a report with sources.
* **Tools and extensions** for web search, running code, YouTube, GitHub, Linear, Discord, Spotify, and more.
* **Memory and Skills**, so the AI remembers things about you and can follow playbooks you write.
* Charts, diagrams, and math that render right in the chat.

## Where to start

New here? Head to the [Quick Start](/chitchat/getting-started/quick-start.md). You can be chatting in about three minutes.

Once you're set up, these are worth a look:

* [The Proxy Worker](/chitchat/getting-started/cloudflare-proxy-worker.md): needed for Claude, and makes everything else more reliable.
* [Cloud Sync](/chitchat/optional-add-ons/cloud-sync-d1.md): keep your chats in sync between your computer and phone.
* [Coding Mode](/chitchat/using-chitchat/coding-workspace.md): build things with the AI side by side.
