FAQ
Is Fluent available now?
Yes. You can use Fluent online, or run it yourself with the open-source runtime. Online signup is open in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Fluent is free.
Do I need to switch AI assistants?
No. Fluent works with ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, OpenClaw, and other compatible AI apps. You keep talking to the assistant you already use.
Who is Fluent for?
Fluent is for people who use AI to plan meals or make clothing decisions and want clothes, recipes and lists they can keep using.
Today it is most useful for:
- meal planning, saved recipes, groceries, and household food preferences
- closet-aware style advice and purchase decisions
- simple grocery and clothing budgets
What can Fluent do today?
With Meals, your assistant can plan around your household, save recipes and approved meal plans, maintain a grocery list, and update it after you shop.
With Style, your assistant can answer questions using your saved clothes, compare a possible purchase with what you own, and keep saved items and photos current.
You can also choose to set a grocery or clothing budget.
Should I use Fluent online or run it myself?
Use Fluent online if you want hosting, storage, authentication, and updates handled for you.
Run Fluent yourself if you want direct control over the server, storage, backups, and update timing.
Both options provide the same core Fluent features. See Choose Your Setup for a side-by-side explanation.
Does Fluent have visual cards or lists?
Yes. Compatible AI apps can show a visual Grocery List, Budget Setup, and Style Closet Manager. You can also work through text. Available views and controls vary by app.
Can I export or delete my data?
Yes. You can request an export or permanently delete your Fluent online account. If you run Fluent yourself, you control your own backups and storage. See Privacy & Data.
Is Fluent a dashboard?
No. You may use the website to sign in, connect an AI app, or manage your account, but most of your time with Fluent happens inside your assistant.
Is Fluent a budgeting or wardrobe app?
Fluent includes a closet you can browse and update with your assistant. You can also set a simple grocery or clothing budget using amounts and spending records you provide. You do not need a budget to use the closet or meal planning.
How much setup does Fluent need?
Start with one real task. Ask for help planning this week’s meals or evaluating a purchase. Your assistant will ask for the few details it needs and can save them after you approve.
