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.

Swisscom MyAI as tutor

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Yesterday I asked MyAI by Swisscom, which is still in Beta, if it could help me write a JavaScript app to generate passwords and it did, with ease. It provided me with the javascript code I needed so I could cut and paste it, and then use node to run it straight from terminal.

People often think that AI will replace us, and if certain companies in the US have their way, then it will. On the flipside I believe that AI will replace Googling for snippets of code that help us reach our coding goals.

Google Fu and AI

In many podcasts that I listened to over the years about JavaScript, Ruby On Rails and others I often heard the term Google Fu. It's the concept that people know what they want to do but they use Google to find and help write functions that help them achieve what they want.

In some cases it would take hours to find useful help when stuck on a problem. That's where skill and experience in searching for useful answers came in.

With AI, even with MyAI which is still in Beta, you can save hours of searching and trial and error. When I asked MyAI to write the app it provided me with code, which I could read and understand, and check for anomalies. Through studying a number of JavaScript courses I understand what the code is doing.

Tutoring

AI works as a tutor, where we can ask it to help us achieve what we want, and we can cut and paste things but we can also elaborate.

Eventually I asked about the limitations of this code, and whether I should use bcrypt or something similar so it added that in. It also added password hashing.

It provided me with three suggestions of how to use it, whether in the command line, via a web page or one or two other uses. In the end this took half an hour to an hour to do.

More than a Function at a Time

When I first started experimenting with AI I asked it to create one function at a time. Now I see that we can ask it to write an entire app, and tweak it through an iterative process to get it to do what we want it to do. AI can help save time.

Existing Libraries

While we can get AI to help us write a password generator we have the option of finding the right package. With Node generate-password is an existing tool that does the same thing. Whilst it's good to know how AI can help build apps from scratch it makes sense to see if an app already exists that can do what we want it to.

And Finally

Although US based AI models hog the limelight there are European solutions that offer some of the same assistance, without having to leave Swiss or European servers. We should not automatically go for ChatGPT, Claude and other solutions. Le Chat and MyAI provide good alternatives. We don't need to default to US based projects.

Playing with MyAI by Swisscom

Reading Time: < 1 minute

If we use Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT or a few other AI models we are using AI that has data centres in the US. If we use Le Chat by Mistral or MyAI (Beta) by Swisscom we are using AI that is based in Europe, or Switzerland. The data stays here.

The first thing to note is that MyAI is in public beta. It is still at a 0.0. version number rather than a 1. something version. As such this means that it can answer questions but we can't yet give it default data to work with like we can with Claude, Gemini and other AI solutions.

It cannot generate images or provide you with maps. It can answer a question such as "Could you help me write a password generator using javascript?" with ease. It is aware of Hugo, the open source project so could help you generate a theme.

It is available in French, German, Italian and English and I played with it in English.

It is good that Le Chat by Mistral, MyAI by Swisscom and AITools is available via Infomaniak. We have three options of local AI models to experiment with and use, and this will grow with time.

CNBC: Snap shares drop as FTC refers MyAI chatbot complaint to the DOJ. “Snap shares closed down 5% on Thursday after the Federal Trade Commission said it would refer a complaint against the company to the Department of Justice. The FTC’s non-public complaint involves allegations that Snapchat’s My AI chatbot poses ‘risks and harms to young users,’ the commission said in a statement.”
