Yes multi-provider is fairly entrenched at the moment.

With this MVP I wanted to see if there was demand for something where privacy and encryption were enough of a USP to attract some early adopters. Maybe to also cross that hurdle I need to go fully transparent and open-source as well so that those with the technical knowledge can verify themselves that I am doing what I say I'm doing.

I'll also write up a long-form article with more details on the security and the encryption.

Mid-to-long term (and if there was demand) I could also get security audited & certified and hopefully build an increasingly trustful relationship.

Side note - somebody else replied to me drawing my attention to DuckDuckGo also releasing a Beta AI chat recently. It offers no storage, client or server, so if you refresh the page your chats are gone. I would imagine they are also testing the market for something like this.
