About Chert
Chert is an API-first platform designed to act as the "Vapi for FaceTime." It enables developers to build and deploy interactive AI video agents capable of both placing and receiving FaceTime calls with just a few lines of code.
By bringing multimodal AI interaction to FaceTime, Chert is optimized for visual workflows where seeing is better than explaining. Key applications include remote support, field service troubleshooting, telehealth intake, and guided onboarding. Developers can also test the platform live by making a FaceTime call directly to a demo agent.
Pros of Chert
- Quick implementation using just a few lines of code
- Supports both answering and placing outgoing FaceTime calls
- Ideal for visual support scenarios that are easier to show than explain
- Versatile applications across remote support, field service, and telehealth intake
Cons of Chert
- Requires programming knowledge to build and deploy custom agents
- Specific to FaceTime workflows based on current product scope
- Pricing and tier details are not explicitly listed in the provided source metadata

About SayGM
SayGM is a developer-focused, cost-effective, and highly private alternative to platforms like OpenRouter. Designed to bridge the gap between unified model access and strict data privacy, SayGM offers a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint that allows you to seamlessly access major frontier models—including Claude, GPT, and Gemini—without requiring code rewrites.
While many AI providers rely on basic text guarantees on their privacy pages, SayGM proves its privacy claims cryptographically. The gateway operates inside an Intel TDX enclave, enabling the silicon chip itself to sign a measurement verifying the exact software running. For open models, execution happens entirely within the secure enclave to ensure no one intercepts your prompts. For closed models, data remains strictly sealed for the maker alone, giving developers unmatched transparency and security in their AI infrastructure.
Pros of SayGM
- One unified, OpenAI-compatible endpoint for Claude, GPT, and Gemini with no code rewrites needed
- Provable privacy running inside an Intel TDX enclave with hardware-signed measurements
- Acts as a cheaper, secure alternative to OpenRouter
- Open models run securely inside the enclave to prevent prompt visibility by third parties
Cons of SayGM
- Specific pricing tiers and cost breakdowns are not explicitly detailed in the provided metadata
- Limited to the model families explicitly supported by the gateway API
Frequently Asked Questions
What is SayGM?
SayGM is a private and cost-effective alternative to OpenRouter that provides a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint to access models like Claude, GPT, and Gemini.
How does SayGM ensure data privacy?
SayGM's gateway runs inside an Intel TDX enclave. The physical chip itself signs a measurement of the exact software running, ensuring open models execute securely without third parties seeing your prompts, while closed models stay sealed for the maker alone.
Do I need to rewrite my code to use SayGM?
No. SayGM provides an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, allowing you to access Claude, GPT, and Gemini without performing code rewrites.
