About AnythingLLM
AnythingLLM is a desktop app that runs an AI assistant on your own computer. It lets you chat with your documents, run models locally and connect tools, with the aim of keeping your files on your device.
What it does
You install one app, pick a model or let the app recommend one for your hardware, and start chatting. Documents you add become part of the assistant's knowledge base without leaving your machine. The app can transcribe and summarize meetings on your computer, and it offers dictation and text help. A developer API and a tool builder let you extend it. An Android app is also available for smaller models.
Key features
- Chat with your documents on your own device
- Choose a model, or let the app recommend one
- Transcribe and summarize meetings locally
- Dictate text that is refined as you speak
- Build custom tools with a developer API
Who it's for
The app suits individuals, small teams and developers who want a private assistant. People without a capable computer may find local models slow, so a cloud model may suit them better.
Pricing and good to know
The site describes the app as free to download. The project is open source under the MIT license. Local models are limited by your computer's memory and processor, so results depend on your hardware.
