What makes ByteChat different
One chatroom.
Every AI. Your keys.
Most AI apps give you one model in a private chat. ByteChat is a multi-bot chatroom you fuel with your own API keys — so you run Claude, GPT, Gemini and more side by side, at provider cost with zero markup. Here's everything you can do, by plan.
Free demo, no key
Starter $4.99/mo
Pro $9.99/mo
The multi-bot chatroom
These are the things a normal one-model chat app simply can't do. Every tier gets the core room — paid tiers fuel it with real API keys.
💬
Many AIs in one conversation
FreeStarterPro
Add multiple bots to a single chatroom. Broadcast a message to all of them at once, or address one with an @mention. Their replies stream in concurrently.
Why it's unique: a normal AI app is a 1-on-1 thread. Here you can put Claude, GPT and Gemini in the same room and compare or combine their answers without copy-pasting between tabs.
- Add a bot — tap + Add bot, pick a provider and model.
- Repeat for as many bots as you like (unlimited on Starter & Pro).
- Type a message — by default it goes to every bot in the room.
- Or target one — start with @BotName to ask just that bot.
🔑
Bring Your Own Key — zero markup
StarterPro
Paste your own provider API keys. ByteChat sends requests straight to the provider — your key never touches our servers beyond the direct proxy, and we add no token markup.
Why it's unique: instead of stacking $20/mo subscriptions per model, you pay one flat platform fee and your real (often pennies) usage cost — across every provider you connect.
- Open Settings → API Keys.
- Paste a key for any provider (Claude, GPT, Gemini, Groq, DeepSeek and more).
- Keys are stored locally in your browser only — never on our servers.
- Start chatting — usage is billed by your provider at their rates.
🎭
Per-bot personas & room identity
FreeStarterPro
Give each bot its own system prompt — Critic, Builder, Analyst — and set a shared chatroom context that every bot sees.
Why it's unique: you design a panel of specialists in one room instead of re-pasting instructions into separate chats.
- Tap a bot to edit it, then set its system prompt / role.
- Set room context from the chatroom settings to brief every bot at once.
📤
Side-by-side panels & export
FreeStarterPro
Switch to panel view to read each bot's answer in its own column, then export the conversation. Free exports to Markdown; Starter & Pro add HTML & PDF.
- Toggle panel view to compare replies column-by-column.
- Tap Export and choose your format.
Pro power features
Pro adds workflow tools that turn the multi-bot room into a serious thinking environment — including three brand-new features.
🔗
Bot Chaining
Pro
Make your bots reply in sequence instead of in parallel, in an order you choose. Each bot reads the previous bots' answers, so you can run a pipeline — one drafts, the next critiques, the third rewrites — from a single message.
Why it's unique: turns a room of independent bots into a collaborative assembly line you arrange yourself, with no manual copy-pasting between models.
- Have 2+ bots active in the room.
- Tap the chain icon (next to the mic) to switch on chain mode — the Chain order panel opens.
- Set the sequence with the up/down arrows (each bot shows its role), then close the panel.
- Send your message — bots reply one after another in your order, each building on the last.
- Tap the chain icon again to reorder anytime, or turn chain mode off from inside the panel.
🌿
Conversation Branching
Pro
Fork any conversation at any message into a new branch. The original stays untouched, so you can explore an alternative direction without losing your thread. The parent shows how many branches grew from it.
Why it's unique: explore "what if" paths the way you'd branch code — instead of overwriting or cluttering one long thread.
- Tap any message (yours or a bot's) to reveal its action bar.
- Tap "Branch" — a new conversation is created with everything up to that point.
- Keep chatting in the branch; the original is preserved.
- Spot branches in the sidebar by the branch tag and count.
📊
API Cost Analytics Dashboard
Pro
Pro extends the Savings Tracker into a full dashboard: a 12-month spend bar chart, up to 11 months of history, a monthly budget alert with progress bar, and one-tap CSV export of all your usage.
Why it's unique: treat your own-key AI spend like a real budget line — track trends, set a cap, export for expenses.
- Open the Usage & Savings panel — Pro shows the 12-month chart automatically.
- Set a monthly budget in the field provided to get a progress bar and alert.
- Tap "Export CSV" to download your full usage history.
🎙️
Voice-to-multi-bot
Pro
Speak once and your words go to every bot in the room at the same time — no typing, no repeating yourself per model.
- Tap the mic and talk.
- Send — all active bots hear the same prompt.
▶️
Live code execution
Pro
Run code blocks a bot produces right inside the chat — JavaScript, HTML/CSS preview and more — in a sandbox, without leaving ByteChat.
- Ask a bot for code.
- Tap "Run" on the code block to execute and see the output inline.
🗂️
Room Templates
Pro
Save a full room setup — the bots, their roles and the context — then restore it with one tap whenever you need that team again.
- Build your room with the bots and prompts you want.
- Save as a template, then restore it any time for a fresh conversation.
