Ampersand v0.1 goes free on AI Gateway

Ampersand targets a neglected weakness in chat-based AI: models that speak too often and understand too little about group dynamics.

• –Its `send_message` and `pass` actions make turn-taking an explicit application-level decision.
• –Sender metadata and persistent sessions help the model distinguish individual goals from shared objectives.
• –The OpenAI-compatible API lowers integration friction for developers already building agent workflows. [Humans& docs](https://ampersand.humansand.ai/docs/)
• –The free Gateway window is a useful trial, but developers should verify pricing, limits, privacy, and model quality before building around it.
• –The bigger bet is collaborative AI that mediates human conversations rather than simply answering one user at a time.
