Rool

Wow…. You responded!!! Makes me feel like part of the family, which is pretty rare these days 😁😁😁😁

Privacy is important to me for a tool that I use for personal data. Rool does this for me, and I am not conflicted about ethics as I am with the big names. I also enjoy having direct control over what is stored.Aside from basic research on personal topics, Rool has enabled me to start working on larger personal projects that I have been putting off, such as finally creating that video game I was thinking about for decades. I would not dare do this (and other projects) using Anthropic or OpenAI.

I tried to work with the AI in Evernote to do some planning and had an afternoon of never quite understanding what had been saved or included, and I wasn't happy with the end result as I was always trying to second guess what information I would share with a company which I had used for well over a decade, but had been recently bought by venture capitalists.The day I was doing that I watched a youtube of a guy using the restoration of an older Mercedes to explain the current state of our economy. He described how and why he was using Rool, and I thought "I'd like some of that".The task I was doing in Evernote became enjoyable in Rool. I was immediately happier with the answer because Rool would make, store and name files the way I wanted them which Evernote simply wouldn't.I've found that problems I ruminate on are cleared up when I feed the information and considerations into my Rool machine. For example a choice of whether to fence or grow a hedge took me through local government databases, mapping, biosecurity considerations, neighbourliness considerations and ultimately estate planning as it emerged that Rool's recommended hedge type for my local soil and microclimate would expire about the same time that I will.Btw I signed up to Producthunt from a link in my junkmail just to post this, as it seems the minimum I should do to thank the Rool team for what they have achieved. I'm a curmudgeon who really appreciates an ethical success.

"a full machine in the cloud" is the part I keep rereading - does that mean every user gets their own dedicated instance rather than a shared multi-tenant backend? that would explain the privacy story a lot more than a policy promise would, but it's also a much more expensive thing to run per user than typical SaaS AI. curious how the pricing holds up once you're actually provisioning real compute per person instead of just metering API calls

I use Rool for various tasks, mainly answering quick customisation questions about Linux distros. But I find Rool useful for other questions, too. Quick, reliable and private. So far, my favourite AI tool.

Came for the more ethical/privacy foundation, stayed for the results. I am so much happier with Rool than ChatGPT, primarily because Rool keeps track of everything so i don’t have to repeat myself. I use Rool for everything from ”My statistical plots need adjusting and i can’t be bothered recreating them myself” to ”help me identify this mushroom and is it tasty”, and fact that i haven’t died of a poisonous mushroom yet speaks for itself of Rool’s capabilities.

Rool is a bright light in a wasteland of AI tools. Casper and his team have built a genuinely fantastic tool that I use daily. Free credits that replenish as you use them, and very reasonable subscription rates too. It has managed to handle everything I've thrown at it, and I never feel like it's going to sell off my data to someone else. Having it self-contained is such a great way to design it as well.

Rool has been a game changer for me. I use Rool for work tasks, I work mostly with Intune and SCCM, and I need PowerShell scripts to help with my everyday job and Rool has done an amazing job with crafting simple and affective scripts. I love the memory feature because it remembers conversations and projects and will reference those so when a fix is found and I ask another similar question it can compare those other projects. I also do love the fact that my data is not shared and that this is hosted in a country with some laws regarding privacy and such. I highly recommend Rool to any of my friends and have no plans to get rid of it. The developers are also very awesome and always willing to pop into Discord and answer questions and the amount of changes in the short time I've been using Rool has been amazing. Keep up the great work!

Just wanted to chime in here. Rool is the first AI that got me using it on a regular basis and feeling good about it. Not only is it fast and private, but its tone is much more like a helpful colleague than a tone-deaf sycophantic lickspittle like all the others I’ve used. I’ve found it incredibly useful and now can’t picture living without it. Thanks Rool team!

I just made an account to talk about Root. I really like that’s human centered. I don’t need to worry about my data and although it has some hallucinations from time to time, it can get back in proper form easily. It has become a great tool to work with while I develop my career. Plus, I like that’s Europe based.

Several weeks ago, I came across Rool through a product placement in a YouTube video. At first, I was sceptical, but that quickly changed.I had a tab open in my browser with the AI chat I’d been using, alongside a tab with Rool, and compared the two: Rool was clearly faster, without any drop in the quality of its responses.What I like about RoolThe VM approach, where the AI chat runs just for me. A dedicated environment that retains context across individual chats.The clear structure, with Chat, Files and Memories.Files that can be found in a clearly defined place and don’t disappear after a few minutes.Memories where important points are stored in a structured way, can be found and can be deleted. (Changes can only be made in the chat.)The ability to export and import the most important elements (Files, Memories).EU-based servers, combined with a strong commitment to data protection and privacy.Within just a few days, Rool had become my primary AI chat.

For me, it was important to have an AI based out of Europe. I couldn’t be happier with Rool. I use it for analysing and recommendation on my finances. for analysing complex documentations around insurance and contracts. It does an excellent job. Really satisfied!

I use Rool as my daily AI driver. I really like that my data is private, and hosted in the EU.Rool is fast, reliable and easy to use. I love it.

What attracted me to Rool initially was the principles behind the project: hosted in EU, privacy focused and by a team of people I believed in based on my knowledge of Abzu. Since then, Rool has been my go to LLM.I keep coming back to Rool because while my data is not being exploited the quality of the answers are at least on pair with any other machine I've worked with and in some cases better. Some use cases for me have been: all kinds of text work, html code, image generations, research, project planning. I really like the core memory concepts as a way of personalising the machine and I'm looking forward to work more with the graph. I also really like transparency you get by looking into what the machine is doing to generate answers. All in all i recommend Rool wholeheartedly.

Private AI assistance. As good as it gets.It keeps files, remembers projects, good at design as well as tech brainstorming.Independent, European machine. really cool. Thanks Rool!
