Meet Your Household's AI

OvertChat is a clean, uncluttered place to chat with AI. Ask it to explain a letter from the bank, plan the week's dinners, or help with homework, and it keeps every conversation tidy in a searchable library.

The AI is included. Open OvertChat and start typing: there's no provider account to sign up for and no API key to find. Everyone in the house gets their own login and their own conversations, on the web or in the iOS and Android apps.

Why OvertChat Makes Life Easier

• Chat from the first minute, with no API key and no separate AI subscription.
• Give each person their own account, so homework help and holiday planning don't end up in the same thread.
• Pick up a conversation on your phone where you left it on the laptop.
• Group related chats into projects, so the kitchen renovation lives in one place.
• Bring your own provider when you want a choice of models, and keep the included one alongside it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an OpenAI or Anthropic account?
No. OvertChat comes with AI included. You can add your own provider later if you want more models.

What happens if we use up the included AI for the day?
OvertChat tells you, and the allowance resets at midnight UTC. If your household chats a lot, add your own provider for heavier use.

Can I choose which model the included AI uses?
The included AI uses one model we pick for fast, everyday chat. For a choice of models, add your own provider.

How do the rest of my family sign in?
You create an OvertChat account for each of them in Settings. They don't need an ElfHosted account of their own.

Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Install OvertChat from the App Store or Google Play, enter your OvertChat address, and sign in.

OvertChat gives your whole household a friendly place to use AI, with the AI already included and an account for everyone.
