Chat
Your key stays
on your device
Free and open source — but you'll need a paid Scaleway key. Sovatela has no AI of its own: it uses your own Scaleway account, and Scaleway bills you directly for what you use — typically a few cents a day for ordinary chat. Sovatela never handles payment and takes no cut, and the app shows a running cost estimate on your device.
