working with AI today involves a lot of copy and paste. Single LLMs are rarely enough to solve real problems, so we constantly switch contexts, ask multiple LLMs, and let them correct each other.
To break free from all that, I built BlaBlaBlAI and released it as Apache 2.0 open source.
The idea is simple: no more 1-on-1 chats with LLMs, but chats with as many LLMs and as many humans in the same chat as needed. Think WhatsApp groups, but with LLMs too, and a reasonable set of tools to coordinate them (rules, muting, cost attribution).
I can imagine how many types of businesses could be built on top of a chat system like this. Obviously, having worked on this app for some time, I have a thousand ideas. But today I’m interested in emphasizing just three things:
1) Using many LLMs in the same chat instead of one has been, for my productivity, more disruptive than the invention of LLMs themselves. This is why I’m sharing this.
2) Ideas like this tend to evolve in one of two ways: either they fragment into many mediocre clones, or they converge into one or a few strong open-source implementations. I’m explicitly aiming for the second, which is why, for me, open source is a technical necessity, regardless of any potential business built on top.
3) I’m used to the concept “Make something people want”, so this message is meant to understand whether people actually want BlaBlaBlAI. I know how much I want this (very much), so this is really about understanding whether BlaBlaBlAI will evolve just for me or for many.
That’s it. I also made a video to show an example of use. The use case is absolutely genuine and real, it happened to me. Who hasn’t received less-than-ideal responses from LLMs? In fact, that’s precisely the point of BlaBlaBlAI: there’s no single perfect LLM, but many LLMs working together can make a real difference.
Final details and notes:
- Open-source code on GitHub (the app works) - Multi-LLM chat - Markdown support in messages - Demo video showing real interactions between agents
Missing for now:
- Hosted version - Easy setup (but an exhaustive README.md to run it exists) - Onboarding
