Why Lumen

Less searching.
More creating.

One-click launch

No onboarding, no accounts. Every card opens straight into the live chat on the official site.

Hand-picked only

A short, curated list. We include the models that are genuinely worth your time — nothing else.

Private by design

We never store your conversations. Chats live with the provider; only your favourites stay in this browser.

How it works

Three steps. That's the whole flow.

  1. 01

    Browse

    Scan the collection and filter by the task in front of you.

  2. 02

    Choose

    See each model's strengths at a glance, then pick your fit.

  3. 03

    Chat

    Click once and the official chat opens in a new tab. That's it.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

Yes. Browsing the collection and launching chats is completely free. Individual providers may ask you to sign in or offer paid plans for advanced features.

Not for Lumen. Some providers require you to create an account before chatting, and that happens on their site — never here.

Every card opens the model's official website in a new browser tab. You talk to the model directly, on the provider's own platform.

No. Lumen has no chat backend. The only thing saved locally is your list of favourite models, kept in your browser.

Roughly once a month. We add new models, retire the outdated ones, and keep the descriptions honest.

Ready when you are

Your next idea is
one click away.
