Why sign in?
You can use the assistant anonymously for quick checks — but a free account makes it genuinely more useful for anything bigger than a one-off question.
Chat history saved across devices
Every conversation is stored against your account. Start on your laptop, continue on your phone — no copy-pasting your situation back in.
Resume any past conversation
Click a history entry and the assistant continues the same thread — same language, same context, same citations. Long-running expat questions stay coherent across sessions.
20 questions a day instead of 3
Most expat questions branch — one answer raises two follow-ups. The anonymous daily limit (3) is for quick sanity checks; signed-in users get a 6× higher allowance so a research session fits in one go.
No tracking, no spam, no resale
Modern OIDC sign-in (no Facebook / Google trackers). Your email is used only to attribute conversations and respect your quota — never shared, never sold.
