TalkBase

What we're building

TalkBase is a PHP script for having your own chat interface with an AI model: message bubbles, conversation history saved locally (no database to configure) and a backend that bridges to the AI provider you'll choose during setup, without ever exposing your API key to the browser.

Why this page exists before the script

Before writing the code, we want to know if this kind of script is really needed by the people reading this page. This is a validation page: if we get concrete interest (requests, questions about price or features), development starts right after. If you're here and interested, reach out via Contact: your request matters for deciding whether and how to proceed.

What's already decided

• Ready chat interface, familiar to anyone who has already used AI assistants in chat
• Conversation history saved in local files, consistent with the zero-database philosophy of this line of scripts
• PHP backend acting as a proxy to the AI API, so the key is never exposed in the clear

What's still to be decided together

• Which AI provider to support first (or configurable multi-provider support)
• Additional features requested (multi-user, chat export, usage limits)
