I think you should think about why you want to degoogle. What’s made that a priority for you?

I bet you’ll find that using LLMs contradicts those values.

I’ve been degoogled for many years. I gave Proton’s LLM, Lumo, a try. No google account required.

Why? I do use LLMs too, there is not a single service where I absolutely have to login with a Google account that I know off.

I use a ton of AI services, and never once needed a Google account. Chatgpt, github copilot, perplexity, all support local/email login. there’s Duck.AI etc etc. You can use gemini via perplexity etc (got the free year with PayPal login) AI is easy but I don’t support anyone paying (real money) for it.

I second Lumo. I find it very good at compiling pretty good sources too.

De-googles presumably for privacy and data security reasons

Using non self-hosted LLM services from providers that presumably are holding every bit of user input data to sell/re-purpose to have some return for their service (and want a google sign in to have an even more targeted data package oh my)

Now asking random strangers on the internet on how to pretty please get a google burner account to keep maintaining privacy away from google (despite having a trail associated with the device used to create the account along with the site’s data harvesting practices)

Now I’ve seen everything.

Mistral, Kagi, DuckDuckGo, Brave Leo and probably more let you all use AI services without a Google account.
