Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to pay for AI separately?
Yes, you'll need an API key from Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (GPT-4), or Google (Gemini). Most users spend $5-20/month depending on usage. We're working on bundled plans.
Is my data really private?
100%. LobstaBox runs entirely on your local network. We never see your conversations. The only external connection is to the AI provider you choose.
Can I run local AI models?
Yes! LobstaBox supports Ollama for running local models like Llama 3. Performance depends on model size โ smaller models work great on the Pi 5.
What if I need help setting it up?
Our setup wizard guides you through everything. If you get stuck, email support โ we'll help you out.
