    Well, not exactly, but these AI response systems are not cheap to run, you either:

    A: Need to use a third party which charges you a non-trivial amount of money per response

    B: Host it yourself on the cloud, which charges you a non-trivial amount of money for computation costs

    C: Host it yourself bare metal, which costs a VERY non-trivial amount of front for hardware and still costs you a nontrivial (but lower amount) monthly for electricity/maint
