A Year to Experiment with Swisscom MyAI

A few days ago I was looking at MyAI and I was going to unsubscribe from the "Pro" account before they charged me, before realising that as an early adopter I have a year to play with MyAI for "free". When I say that I can play with it for free I mean that I have been a Swisscom client for decades by now, so I paid for it through years of loyal custom.

Early Adoption of MyCloud

At the same time as an early adopter I played with Swisscom MyCloud when it was free, and eventually, when they switched to a paying solution I was caught within. Luckily I had been careful not to store terabytes of data on their service. I'm on the 200gb plan.

Based on Claude

MyAI runs with Anthropic's Claude and although the company is based in the US it has European offices in London, Dublin, Zurich, Paris and Munich. In contrast Euria by Infomaniak is based on open-source models such as Qwen3 and operates 'within an ethical Swiss-hosted infrastructure" according to itself(Euria). MyAI is less Swiss centric than Euria.

Playing With MyAI

I played with MyAI by asking what I should write about today and it gave a native answer, without looking outside of its model. When I asked it about a specific run that I did yesterday it provided me with a summary, after retrieving the data from Strava. When I provided it with a link to my profile it was able to answer questions like "How long would it take if I walked yesterday's route" as well as "how far do you think I will run this year. It answered that it could be between 1000-1300km.

When I asked it about Swisscom and Wingo it could provide plenty of information because both are Swisscom products. When I asked it about Infomaniak's Euria AI it didn't have much information and did not look for it.

When I asked it about the Swisscom WLAN box 2 it gave me an answer in German, so I told it to please remember to answer in French or English, and then it gave me the answer in English.

Worth Noting

As I looked through my conversation history with MyAI I notice that the first answers were sometimes in German, and that I had to ask for the answer in English. I also feel that as MyAI matures, so the quality of answers is improving.

And Finally

A few days ago I was going to switch back to the free tier to avoid being charged by mistake. I then noticed that for a few more days we can use the app for free for a year, so I am taking advantage of that opportunity. In my eyes I have been a Swisscom customer for long enough for to be justifiable.

It works well and provides us with an alternative to ChatGPT and other US based solutions.
