Khoj

So I went through the hoops of installing docker... turns out you can just install with pip haha

Khoj

Khoj is an open-source, privacy-focused chatbot interface designed to interact with large language models (LLMs). It enables users to run their own chatbot services locally or on personal servers, offering a secure alternative to cloud-based solutions like ChatGPT.

Overview

Khoj connects to various LLM backends (including OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, and Local LLMs) via API or direct integration. It provides a web-based chat interface, voice interaction, and the ability to process personal documents, making it suitable for:

• Secure, private AI interactions
• Custom chatbot development
• Document question-answering
• Voice assistant integration

Key Features

• **Multi-backend Support:** Connects to major LLM providers and

self-hosted models.

• **Privacy-Focused:** Keeps data local or restricts API usage.
• **Voice Interaction:** Built-in speech-to-text and text-to-speech

capabilities.

• **Document Processing:** Analyze PDFs, DOCX, TXT, and more.
