About ChatDelta & ChatEmbed

Empowering developers and site-owners with flexible, on-device AI chat solutions that respect privacy and reduce costs.

Where it started

ChatDelta.com began as a proof-of-concept by David Christian Liedle (@DavidCanHelp)—a developer-advocate and lifelong tinkerer. The idea was simple but ambitious: one SDK that lets any app tap into multiple AI models (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, open-weights, you name it) without the vendor lock-in.

While ChatDelta handled the plumbing, David quickly realised many people just wanted a ready-made chat box they could drop onto a site. Enter ChatEmbed.ai: a thin, self-hostable widget built as ChatDelta’s “first customer”.

How it all fits together

ChatDelta acts as a broker: your code hits one API surface; ChatDelta fans the request out to whichever model (or blend of models) best fits cost, latency, or accuracy. It’s designed to be run in your own infra or as a managed service. That's the idea, at least. The v0 API just returns "Ok" when you visit api.chatdelta.com, and has rate limiting enabled.

PicoChat (ChatEmbed) is the lightweight front-end. It's the v0 for ChatEmbed.ai. Shipped as a single .html, it boots an open-source model via WebLLM so answers happen right in the browser—no server calls, no PII leakage, and zero invoice surprises. PicoChat is the free offering from ChatEmbed.ai. You can embed PicoChat in your site by visiting https://chatembed.ai/picochat.html which serves as an example of embedding a ChatEmbed widget.
