Q: Technical Development & AppSumo Customer Commitment
I've invested in the highest tier but have concerns about WeShop's competitive position. Competitors like Claid.ai, Flair.ai, and Pebblely use proprietary AI models while your Hugging Face repo appears to show primarily open-source integration rather than custom AI development.
Direct questions (apologies for being blunt, I just care):
1.Will you develop proprietary AI models to compete effectively or continue to rely on open-source?
2. How specifically will AppSumo capital fund technical improvements?
3. Will major upgrades be available to lifetime customers without additional cost?
If you're not developing competitive tech, we're investing in permanent last place. If proprietary features are later restricted from AppSumo customers, that would undermine the investment. Your potential is limitless but the roadmap is too vague.

Jun 24, 2025A: Absolutely, here’s a concise response to your concerns:
1. Proprietary AI Models: We use open-source models as a base but fine-tune them with our own proprietary data. The Hugging Face repo was a rudimentary prototype; our production models are much more advanced and tailored for WeShop’s needs.
2. AppSumo Funds: Funds are used to improve our AI through more fine-tuning, infrastructure upgrades, and new features—all aimed at keeping us competitive.
3. Lifetime Upgrades: Yes, all major upgrades—including proprietary features—will be available to lifetime AppSumo customers at no extra cost.
Rest assured: We’re committed to building competitive, proprietary technology and honoring our promises to supporters like you.
