Frequently Asked Questions

SICKLIEST is a platform of AI-powered tools built to rescue you from the tedious, time-sucking tasks that pile up and drain your day. Our treatments include Remedy AI for writing, research, coding, and analysis, plus Alchemist AI for creating stunning images from text prompts. It features voice input, real-time web search, streaming responses, and multiple AI models. Fast, private, and easy on the planet.

Because you want to actually hand off the task and move on with your life. Three things set us apart:

• It actually works: Remedy AI delivers quality results. Not just fast responses; finished tasks. The email gets written. The code gets debugged. The research gets done.
• It's instant: Our Language Processing Units deliver responses in milliseconds, not seconds. No waiting around.
• It's not creepy: We don't sell your data, we don't share it with advertisers, and we're not building a profile on you. Plus, we use 90% less energy than traditional AI, so you're not torching the planet every time you ask a question.

We also offer a generous free tier so you can see for yourself before committing.

While most AI services run on traditional graphics processors (GPUs), our infrastructure is built on Language Processing Units (LPUs) — processors designed from the ground up for language tasks. Unlike GPUs that waste energy shuttling data between separate memory chips, LPUs keep everything on-chip, eliminating bottlenecks and delivering responses in milliseconds while using a fraction of the energy.

Yes. We take privacy seriously:

• We never sell your data to third parties
• We never share your information with advertisers
• We never use your conversations to build profiles about you
• Your data is only used to provide you with our services

The only exception is if we're required by law (like a valid court order) to share information. And we'll fight any overreaching requests.

Accounts help us provide you with a better experience:

• Save your conversations: Pick up where you left off across devices
• Personalized settings: Theme preferences, model selections, and more
• Usage tracking: Know how much of your free tier you've used
• Support access: Contact us if you need help

We collect only what we need and nothing more. You can also use guest mode for basic access without an account.

Only as long as necessary to provide our services. You can request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time through your account settings. When you delete your account, your data is permanently removed from our systems.

Plus features that make the experience seamless:

• Streaming responses: Watch answers appear in real-time, no waiting for the full response
• Voice input: Push-to-talk dictation and voice-to-voice conversation mode
• Text-to-speech: Have any response read aloud with synchronized word highlighting
• Message editing: Edit a previous message and branch into a new conversation without losing the original
• Multiple AI models: Choose the right model for the job — fast, smart, or premium
• Conversation management: Organize with folders, pin important chats, search your history
• 10 themes: Dark, light, cyberpunk, amber, and more — make it yours

The goal is to hand off the tedious part so you can focus on the work that actually needs you.

Yes! Remedy AI can analyze images, PDFs, text files, and CSVs. You can:

• Click the attachment button to browse files
• Drag and drop files directly into the chat
• Paste images from your clipboard
• Capture a photo directly from your camera

Supported image formats include JPEG, PNG, GIF, and WebP. Authenticated users can upload files up to 20MB, with up to 5 images per message.

Yes, Remedy AI includes three voice capabilities:

• Push-to-talk input: Hold the microphone button and speak — your words are transcribed in real-time and sent as a message
• Text-to-speech: Have any AI response read aloud with synchronized word-by-word highlighting so you can follow along
• Voice-to-voice: A conversation mode where you speak, the AI responds, and the response is automatically read back to you — hands-free, single-round exchanges

Voice features are available on all tiers, including the free tier.

Yes. When your question calls for current information, Remedy AI can search across 17 specialized sources, including:

• Web search, encyclopedia, and dictionary
• Research papers, medical literature, and legal databases
• Financial data, news feeds, and country data
• Code repositories, tech forums, and video search
• Weather, book databases, and image search

The AI decides which sources to query based on your question and weaves the results directly into its response. It can also fetch and read specific web pages when you provide a URL.

Remedy AI offers multiple AI models, each optimized for different types of tasks. Choose the model that fits your needs:

• Speed: Fast responses for quick tasks
• General intelligence: Balanced quality and performance
• Premium performance: Maximum capability for complex tasks

Remedy AI also includes built-in reliability — if a model encounters an issue, your request is automatically handled so you never get stuck.

The Remedy Developer API lets you integrate Remedy AI capabilities into your own applications. It includes:

• Chat completions with streaming support
• Server-managed conversation history
• Access to all available AI models
• File and image analysis via the same models

API access is included with paid plans — usage counts against your plan's token budget, so there's no separate API billing. Generate API keys from the Developer tab in your Patient Portal.

AI typically requires enormous amounts of energy. Traditional AI data centers consume massive amounts of electricity and water for cooling, contributing to carbon emissions and resource depletion.

Our infrastructure is different. By using Language Processing Units (LPUs) — processors designed from the ground up for language tasks — instead of power-hungry GPUs, we achieve:

• 90% less energy per query
• Reduced water consumption (less cooling needed)
• Lower carbon footprint overall

This isn't our main selling point; it's a side effect of building things the right way. But it's a nice one. Check out our Side Effects page to see the real-time difference our community is making.

You must be at least 13 years old to create a SICKLIEST account. This is in compliance with COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) and similar regulations.

Organizations can manage access for their members through Care Networks, where the network owner handles billing and oversight.

Care Networks let businesses and organizations create a shared group where members are billed together under one plan. The network owner:

• Manages billing for the entire group
• Invites and removes members
• Controls access levels and permissions

Each member still gets their own account with private conversations and personal settings — the billing is just shared. It's designed for teams, companies, and organizations that want centralized management without sacrificing individual privacy.

Alchemist AI is SICKLIEST's AI image generation tool. Type a text prompt and get stunning images in seconds. It offers three model tiers:

• Tonic (Basic): Fast generation, great for quick ideas
• Potion (Standard): Balanced quality, multiple resolutions up to 4K
• Elixir (Premium): Studio-quality output with advanced reasoning

All images support multiple aspect ratios including 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, and 3:4.

Yes! You can generate images without even creating an account. Guest users get a daily generation limit. Free registered users get more. Paid plans unlock:

• More daily generations
• Higher quality models
• Watermark removal (Starter+)
• Private images (Plus+)
• Download in WebP, PNG, or JPEG

Images you generate are yours to use. Free and guest images are watermarked and appear in the public gallery. Paid users (Starter+) can remove the watermark, and Plus+ users can set images to private. See our Terms of Service for full usage rights.
