Cons
- -Requires users to obtain and manage API keys from multiple providers, adding setup complexity
- -Limited to text-only interactions currently, with image and file support planned for future releases
- -Android-only availability restricts access for iOS users
- -Adding another abstraction layer may introduce latency compared to direct provider API calls
- -Dependency on a third-party gateway creates a potential single point of failure for AI integrations
