The basics
What is Rudder.chat?
Rudder.chat is a free AI chat app made by Token Harbor. You can ask questions, write, study and code with it, make pictures and short videos, talk to it, and send it files — on one simple screen, with no ads.
Is Rudder.chat free?
Yes. Chat is unlimited — up to 10 messages a minute and 200 an hour — and every account gets 10 pictures, 5 short videos, 200 web searches and 100 voice messages a day, free. No credit card is needed.
Do I need an account?
You can open the chat and type without one. To get an answer, sign in free with Google, GitHub or an email address — it takes a few seconds and never asks for a card.
Are there ads?
No. Rudder.chat shows no ads in your conversations.
How it answers
Which AI model does Rudder.chat use?
It chooses for you. Each message is sorted as everyday questions, math, coding, or hard reasoning, and sent to the AI that scored best on that kind of task in Rudder's own 32-question test, which runs every 3 hours.
Does Rudder.chat keep up with new AI models?
Yes. It checks for newly released models every 4 hours; a new model that passes its checks is tested in the next round and starts answering once it scores clearly better than the one it replaces.
Can I choose the model myself?
No — that is the point. There is no model menu: Rudder picks the best one for each message, so you only have to ask.
Which languages does it speak?
It answers in the language you write in.
Pictures, video, voice and files
Can Rudder.chat make pictures?
Yes, 10 a day for free. Describe what you want, or attach a photo and say what to change.
Can it make videos?
Yes, 5 short clips a day for free — 5 seconds each, with sound — from a description in words.
Can I talk to it?
Yes. Send up to 100 voice messages a day instead of typing, and have any answer read aloud.
Can it read my files?
Yes. Attach PDFs, pictures, text or code files — up to 200 an hour — and ask about them. Word, Excel and zip files are not read yet.
Can it make documents for me?
Yes. Ask for a PDF, Word, Excel or PowerPoint file and it hands you one to download — 20 a day, free.
Does it search the web?
Yes, when a question needs current information — 200 searches a day, with the sources it used.
Account and trust
Who makes Rudder.chat?
Token Harbor (tokenharbor.ai), which also runs an AI gateway for developers. Rudder.chat is its chat app for everyone.
Why does Google or GitHub show Token Harbor when I sign in?
Because your Rudder.chat account is a Token Harbor account. It is the same company, and one account works on both sites.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. Open rudder.chat in your phone's browser; you can also install it to your home screen like an app.
How do I delete my account?
Settings → Account → Delete account. It closes at once and is deleted after 30 days; sign in before then to keep it.
