What to watch out for
The software is free and open source, but paid model APIs cost money, and fully local use with Ollama needs its own setup. Self-hosting takes technical skill to install and maintain. Because it can act on its own, review autonomous actions like bookings or replies before they go out. Rules and pricing for upstream models can change over time. Behavior may vary across browsers and devices, so test before production use and consult the help docs if errors appear. Features and interface details may change between versions, so review the latest notes on the page before you start. Free tiers and usage limits can change, so check the current rules on the official page before relying on it long term.
