Ask anything
The difference
Using AI today vs. using AI with Governor
You already do all of this in your head — guessing which AI to use, wondering if a cheaper one would've gotten the job done, hoping you didn't paste something you shouldn't have. Governor just does it for you, every time.
You're the one deciding
-
1
You have something to do
Write some code, draft an email, make sense of a bill, ask a question.
-
2
You pick an AI
ChatGPT? Claude? The one running on your laptop?
Most people are guessing here — and there's no way to check. -
3
You paste it in as-is
Your personal details go along with it. Your app doesn't check what you're sending, and the AI company receiving it has no reason to.
-
4
You get an answer
Maybe a good one. You'll never know if another AI would have done better.
-
5
Not happy? Start again
Switch apps, re-type the whole thing, try your luck a second time.
Time gone, money gone, and your details are already out there.
What it costs you
- Paying premium prices for questions that didn't need them
- Getting weak answers because the AI wasn't suited to the task
- Personal details sent out with no one checking
- Time lost switching apps and re-typing
- Starting from scratch every single time — nothing learns
It's handled before you notice
-
1
You have something to do
Same task, same question, typed the same way. You change nothing.
-
2
Governor takes a look first
In the time it takes to press enter, and before any AI sees a thing:
- Works out what kind of help you need
- Compares the AIs you have access to
- Applies what you said matters — cost, speed, quality, privacy
- Takes out anything personal if it's going to the cloud
- Tidies up the wording for whichever AI it picked
-
3
The right AI gets it
Quick question, quick cheap model. Hard problem, the powerful one. Point it at an AI on your own computer and that work never leaves it.
Every time, without you thinking about it. -
4
Better answer, smaller bill
The right AI with well-formed wording beats the wrong AI, and usually costs less.
And it remembers your preferences, so it keeps improving.
What you get
- Simple questions stop going to expensive models
- Hard questions go to AIs that can actually handle them
- The provider never learns who is asking
- No switching apps, no re-typing, no guesswork
- It gets better the more you use it
Governor works with the AI apps you already use. Install it once, point your app at it, and every question you ask is handled automatically from then on.
Works with any app that talks to OpenAI-compatible services — Open WebUI, LibreChat, LangChain, and more.
How it holds up
Three promises, and why they hold.
Nothing to switch on, and nothing to take on trust. Each one you can check from inside the product.
It chooses on evidence, not marketing
Models are ranked by how real people rated their answers, one kind of task at a time — not by what the makers say about them. Every answer tells you which model wrote it.
The everyday models are already very good
The ones included at no extra cost sit just behind the most expensive, for a small fraction of the price. Most questions are answered just as well by one of them — which is what leaves the expensive models free for the questions that need them.
The provider never learns who is asking
Your question reaches the model from AI Governor, not from you. No account of yours at the other end, no name, nothing to file a history under. Conversations stay in your browser, and Settings clears them in one click.
The classification method, the learning process and the measurements behind them are set out in the paper.
Pricing
Unlimited, because most questions don't need an expensive model.
Start free, in the browser, with no account. Paid plans lift the daily cap entirely: unlimited use of the everyday models — the best of which rates a median of 30 points below the best model on the leaderboard — plus a monthly balance for the premium ones, spent only when a question actually warrants it. And the desktop version is free forever, with no cap at all, because it runs on your own machine.

Your premium balance goes further here than anywhere you pick the model yourself. On a menu, people reach for the biggest model for everything; Governor reads the question first and only spends the expensive one when the task needs it. There is no API key to set up and no second bill to watch — every reply is on us, on every plan including the free one.
Questions
The things people ask first.
Do I have to stop using ChatGPT or Claude?
No. Governor sits between you and whichever AI you already use. You keep your subscriptions and your habits — Governor just cleans up what gets sent and, if you want, sends it somewhere better suited to the question.
Can you see my prompts?
The answer differs by version, so here is both. In the desktop app everything happens on your computer and your prompt never reaches us at all. In the browser we do relay it, because that is how it reaches the model that answers — but nothing is retained: no prompt logs, no conversation store, nothing on our side to leak, subpoena or sell. And what the provider receives is a request from AI Governor, not from you: no account, no address, nothing to file it under. If a particular message is sensitive enough that you would rather the words themselves were changed, redaction is one switch in Settings.
Won't the AI give worse answers without context?
Your full question still reaches the AI that answers it. What Governor keeps private is the separate step of working out what kind of question it is, which only needs a few words. And because it picks a better-suited model, answers often improve.
Is it hard to set up?
In the browser there is nothing to set up — open it and ask. The desktop app you install and point at whichever AI accounts you already have, or at a model running on your own machine.
Which AI actually answers me, and where does it run?
Whichever suits the question — the roster covers Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Alibaba, xAI, Mistral and others, and each answer names the one that was used. Most everyday questions land on a Qwen or Gemini model, because they sit near the top of the ratings at a fraction of the price. That means most questions are answered in Singapore or the United States. We publish the full list rather than leave you to guess.
Can it look things up on the web?
Yes, and the model decides when it's needed — you don't have to ask. A question about something current will usually trigger a search; one that doesn't need it costs nothing extra. When a search happens, the sources appear under the answer.
Is my chat history saved to my account?
No — and this catches people out, so plainly: conversations live in your browser only. They don't reach our servers, which also means they don't follow you to another device, and clearing your browser data clears them.
What happens when I use up the premium allowance?
Nothing stops. The router narrows to the everyday models and the conversation carries on. It's the difference between an allowance and a wall.
What does it actually cost me to run?
The desktop app is free and runs on your own machine. In the browser, we pay for the replies — there is no API key to set up and no second bill to watch. Either way the routing is what keeps the cost down, because simple questions stop being sent to expensive models.
What if I don't want anything sent at all?
Point Governor at an AI running on your own machine and it'll route everything there instead, so nothing leaves your computer at any point.
