Hey there! I'm David Graham, the guy behind DAISI, and I've built many companies before, from coding bootcamps like Code Camps (now Woz-U) to fun education places for kids like Code Ninjas and Valhallan Esports Training. But nothing fires me up like DAISI. We're on a mission to make AI work for everyone, not just the big tech folks raking in billions while jobs shift. Imagine turning your everyday computer into a money-maker or building apps that wow without breaking the bank. That's DAISI: a global network where your idle device helps power the future, and you get paid for it.

We're in early Alpha, so things are exciting and evolving. Below, I've broken this FAQ into two parts—one for hosts (that's you, sharing your device's spare power) and one for consumers (folks using DAISI to supercharge their apps or ideas). No tech jargon, just straightforward answers to get you pumped and ready to jump in. Got questions? Hit us up on X at @daisinet.

For Hosts: Turn Your Idle Device into Easy Income

What is a host in DAISI?

A host is simply someone like you who downloads our free app and lets your computer (Windows, Linux, or even iOS devices) help out with AI tasks when it's just sitting there idle. Think of it like Airbnb for your device's brainpower—while you're browsing Netflix or sleeping, it quietly processes simple AI requests from others and earns you cash. No fancy hardware needed; even a mid-range laptop works great.

How do I become a host and start earning?

It's super easy—takes about 10 minutes:

1. Once the downloads are open, you will just go to daisi.ai and download the DAISI app for your device.
2. Install the host on your computer (runs in the background, so you can close the window and forget about it).
3. Sign up with your email, and boom—you're live! The app only kicks in when your device is idle, so it won't slow you down or drain your battery. We even have a quick earnings calculator on our site to estimate your monthly payout based on your setup.
4. Download the DAISI app on your phone to manage your host and keep up to date on how much you're earning.
5. Setup your payout account in the app so that we can send you money!

What kind of tasks does my device handle as a host?

Your device helps with everyday AI magic, like generating chat responses, creating images from text descriptions, or running smart workflows (like automating simple business tasks). It's all safe, bite-sized work that uses your spare power—no heavy lifting that could overheat things.

How much can I earn as a host?

In our Alpha tests, we haven't turned on payments yet, but after we open it up to the broader public, you can expect to earn $5-500 or more per month. Got a beefier setup or GPU? You could see way more—up to side-hustle levels. Earnings depend on how often your device is idle and network demand, paid out monthly via Stripe connected accounts. It's passive income that adds up, helping you offset bills or fund that next gadget.

Is my device safe? What about privacy?

Absolutely! Your safety is our top priority. The app only uses idle time, respects your privacy (no peeking at your files), and runs securely. If something feels off, you can pause or tweak settings anytime. We're building a network with no single weak spot, so even if one device hiccups, the whole system keeps humming.

Do I need to know anything about AI to become a host?

Nope! That's the beauty of it. Our app handles everything automatically. Just install, relax, and watch the earnings tick up in your dashboard. It's designed for regular folks who want in on the AI boom without the hassle.

For Consumers: Power Your Ideas with Affordable, Reliable AI

What is a consumer in DAISI?

As a consumer, you're usually a developer building an app, a small business owner adding chat features to your site, a large corporation building out an enterprise level AI application, or just someone experimenting with AI for fun. You tap into DAISI's global network to get fast, smart AI help (like generating text, images, or workflows) without the huge costs or headaches of big cloud services.

How do I start using DAISI as a consumer?

Head to daisi.ai, sign up for free, and grab our simple toolkit (SDK or easy web hooks). In minutes, you can send your first request—like "Write a fun story about a robot chef"—and get results back lightning-fast. No contracts, no lock-in; pay only for what you use.

What can I do with DAISI as a consumer?

The sky's the limit! Build chatbots for your website, generate custom images for marketing, automate customer service replies, or create smart agents that handle tasks like scheduling. It's perfect for apps, businesses, or personal projects—think turning a basic idea into something that feels like magic, all powered by thousands of everyday devices worldwide.

How much does it cost to use DAISI?

Way less than the big guys—think pennies per task. Our baseline is about $0.01 per 1,000 words or images generated, and it scales down with volume. No surprise fees, and you only pay for results you love. Use our site calculator to plug in your needs and see the savings—often 50-80% cheaper than centralized AI services.

Is DAISI reliable for my important projects?

You bet. Unlike those big clouds that crash during peak times, DAISI spreads work across a global web of devices. If one area has a power blip, others pick up the slack—99.9%+ uptime guaranteed. It's built tough for real-world use, so your app or business keeps running smooth.

How is my data kept private as a consumer?

Privacy first: Your requests zip directly to a host device, get processed, and vanish—no storing or sharing on our end. Everything's encrypted end-to-end, and you control what goes in. We're all about trust, so you can focus on creating without worry.

Do I need coding skills to get started as a consumer?

Not at all for basics—our web dashboard lets you test and play right away. If you're a dev, our tools make integration a breeze, but beginners can start experimenting today. We're here to make AI accessible, not intimidating.
