If we had to pick one target audience, it would be developers. We're devs ourselves, and every value we hold comes from loving dev tools and products that devs love. The more dev-related taste someone has, the more appealing Char becomes for them.
We're seeing validation — users from well-known tech companies are joining our community.
Autonomy — Choose your own AI models, on-device or cloud. Many already have API credits and wonder why they should pay twice when they can bring their own key.

Honesty and clarity. No marketing fluff, no overpromising. We say what we do well and where we're still improving.
