To me I would offer a free "desktop buddy" that was open design, open source, open weights, semi open data(you can volunteer your conversations on a cases by case basis, product/service reviews could be paid contributions) managed by a mutual company or a co-op.
There could be a bounty for find bugs and suggesting features.
Maybe charge $2/mo. It would have a fiduciary duty to you as a user to act as an agent in your best interest. Allow people to contribute to the project using distributed GPUs(with legal contracts to minimize fraud).
Open budget with bidding and open evaluation criteria.
