Comment on Komai: a fine Matrix chat app you can get to loveparent

Comments

If you mean Komai specifically, I think that this characterization is unfair.

Komai is explicitly presented as a fork of Nheko. We credit the upstream project, major libraries (matrix-sdk) and assets (iconsets, etc.), and are open about using AI during development.

I’m not claiming sole authorship or pretending Komai was created from scratch. It's built on existing work (done by various humans over many years) and we're being transparent and thankful about it.

Disclosure: I've spent multiple months working on Komai (with AI and other humans).

I was specifically addressing my parent comment, which was equating taking credit for LLM output to taking credit for making something using tooling or hardware.
