Every AI assistant on the market asks for the same things: your email, your name, sometimes your phone number. Then they store your conversations, analyze your usage, and use your data to improve their models.
I get why they do it. Accounts mean retention metrics. Data means better models. It makes business sense.
But it also means that every question you ask an AI is being logged somewhere, tied to your identity, and kept indefinitely.
I wanted something different. So I built NOLO.
How it works
When you open NOLO, you get a random anonymous ID. No email. No signup. No personal information of any kind. Your conversations are not stored on our servers. There are no logs.
You still get access to powerful AI models, real-time web search, and image understanding. The privacy is the only thing that changes.
The technical side
The stack is simple: vanilla JavaScript on the frontend, Node.js serverless functions on Vercel, Groq for inference, and Supabase only for credit tracking (no conversation data, ever).
I chose Groq because the inference speed is genuinely faster than anything else I tested, which matters a lot in a real-time chat interface.
Where I am now
One month in. Zero users. Launching on Product Hunt this Tuesday.
The product works. Distribution is the hard part now.
If you care about privacy, I'd love for you to try it and tell me what you think.
