It's for people who want to discover LLMs and either don't have the skill to deploy it, or value their time, and prefer not to fool around for hours getting it to work before they can try it.

The fact it has configuration is good, as long as it has some defaults.

Exactly. People like me have been waiting for a tool like this.

I'm more than capable of compiling/installing/running pretty much any software, but all I want is the ability to chat with a LLM of my choice without spending an afternoon tabbing back to a 30 step esoteric GitHub .md full of caveats, assumptions, and requiring dependencies to be installed and configured according to preferences I don't have.

Yeah, I think I fit into this category. If I see a new model announced, it’s been nice to just click and evaluate for myself if it’s useful for me. If anyone knows other tools for this kind workflow I’d love to hear about them. Right now I just keep my “test” prompts in a text file.
