I agree to date chat hasn't been done well enough: cross platform, fast effective UI. Looks like LeChat is making inroads, and I think the focus on search is a very good idea.

How are you planning to monetize everything that everyone says? (I presume you're planning to do this, since you have all the data.)

If I quit LeChat, what happens to what I've said? Do I get a copy? Can I remove it from histories?

When people have great search at their disposal they actually start relying on chat to keep their important assets. This enables nice dynamics--the more history they have over time, the more valuable it gets.

If you quit LeChat, or at any other point in time, you can download full history in plain text and in JSON format, which retains important metadata.

You have an opportunity to do interesting experiments with your pricing model.

We're not planning on selling ads based on the contents of your conversations, if that's what you mean (or the direction).
