What is TypingMind?

TypingMind is an advanced chat interface for AI models. Users bring their own API keys for providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic and Google and pay only for the usage, with the ability to switch between models in one place.

The site lists features including project settings, a canvas editor, artifacts, data visualization and chart rendering, an AI agent builder, custom prompts, a knowledge base and plugins for connecting other tools. Data is said to be stored locally on the user's device.

Instead of a subscription, the site sells a lifetime license as a one-time payment, with a 14-day money-back guarantee.

Because requests go directly to the model providers through your own keys, usage costs depend on the provider you choose.
