## What is Near N Dear?

<figure><img src="/files/XV3MqYhNKpjecs35ouLj" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

To put in a nutshell, Near N Dear is a decentralized custom AI platform open for both users and creators.&#x20;

With Near N Dear, customizing an LLM is entirely code-free. No need for coding skills or advanced AI knowledge—just type in your instructions, and we’ll take care of the rest. Unlike other platforms that charge subscription fees for customization, Near N Dear offers it all in a single, one-time transaction, making it much more affordable and accessible.

Our platform redefines this approach by ensuring creators retain full ownership of their data and creations, with complete transparency at every stage. Powered by the **NEAR blockchain**, we give creators visibility into data usage and decision-making, guaranteeing their work is used only with explicit consent and fair compensation. This commitment to control and transparency fosters trust, accountability, and a collaborative AI ecosystem that truly values its creators.
