They make money on enterprise plans: https://www.experientiallabs.ai/pricing#enterprise
Look at the Intelligence features in the Enterprise plan:
* Per-prompt model optimization
* Caching
* A model you own, trained on your traffic

the business model, I suspect, is classic rug-pull in some time after building user base.
proof: boldly claiming being open source in literally first sentence, while cowardly hiding on-by-default telemetry (WTF??) in truly last paragraph of readme.
sorry to sound harsh, but this is typical old era playbook here.
in the era of AI, fortunately, such products has much lower value. people and VCs didn’t yet tune to it.

Telemetry is off by default. PostHog is for usage analytics on the open source repo. Audit it if you're skeptical.
We make money off enterprise licenses and hosting models.
I have strong reason to suspect you either can't read or are a bad actor.
