Panes vs a shared room
ChatHub-style tools show several models in parallel panes: same prompt in, separate transcripts out. Useful — but each model is alone in its pane, blind to the others. ByteChat puts the models in a shared conversation: every bot sees the same context, you can ask one model to react to another’s answer, chain them in sequence, or run a Consensus round where a judge model compares all the answers and returns one verdict with a confidence score.

How is ByteChat different from ChatHub?
ChatHub shows models in separate side-by-side panes; ByteChat puts them in one shared conversation where every model sees the same context, can build on other answers, and a judge model can produce a single consensus verdict.
Is ByteChat a browser extension?
No — it's a web app at bytechat.io that works in any browser, including on mobile. There's nothing to install.
Does ByteChat also use my own API keys?
Yes, like ChatHub it's BYOK: your keys stay in your browser, requests go to each provider directly, and you pay raw per-token rates with zero markup.
Can I still compare answers side by side?
Yes — replies to one message appear together so you can read across models, and Consensus mode adds a judge verdict with a confidence score on top.
