Last Sale Before the Price Increase
FriedrichAI is on sale.
This will be the last sale before I raise the base price in September.
The reason for the increase is pretty simple: FriedrichAI is a much bigger program than it was when I launched it, and I'm still adding to it.
The next major addition is Friedrich Worlds, the adventure/world system I've been building. The goal is to let you create and play persistent AI-driven worlds locally, with characters, inventory, combat, exploration, consequences, and a world that actually remembers what happened instead of just making up a new answer every turn.
I'm hoping to have V1 of Worlds ready later this month.
FriedrichAI will still be FriedrichAI. Chat, projects, files, local models, optional web access, media tools, and the rest aren't going anywhere. Worlds is being added on top of that.
So if you've been watching FriedrichAI and waiting to pick it up, this is the cheapest it's going to be for a while.
As always, it runs locally on your own machine. No account, no subscription, no API required for the core AI.
Thanks to everyone who's bought it, tested it, posted feedback, or just quietly put a ridiculous number of hours into it. The program is in a much better place than it was at launch, and there's a lot more coming.
