And no i do not have the privilege of running a local model. I have heard of a AI called Maple and tried it out, it was pretty limited to the point that it was a deal breaker (25 messages per week cap). I would like to know more services

"If something is free, you are the product"

If you're not providing your own compute power or your money (and you're not safe even if you pay most providers), expect the payment to come from your personal information or conversation contents being harvested. I'm not sure what magical service you're expecting that doesn't involve self-hosting for truly private conversations - you're just accessing someone else's machine if you're not hosting it yourself, and you're at their mercy.
