AnythingLLM

Description

AnythingLLM is an on-device AI assistant that runs entirely on your own computer, keeping your data private with no accounts, API keys, or token limits. It is designed for productivity and works out of the box, with documents becoming part of your agent's knowledge base without any data leaving your device.

The app includes a local meeting assistant that transcribes and summarizes calls on your machine, producing action items, key decisions, and full transcripts without a bot joining the meeting or any cloud processing. Magic Features add on-device help at your cursor, refining what you type in real time and answering questions based on what you are looking at.

Getting started takes a few clicks: download a single file with no dependencies for macOS, Windows, or Linux, pick a model or let the app recommend one for your hardware, and start chatting with documents, doing research, or building workflows locally. A custom tool builder and developer API let you extend it to your needs.

AnythingLLM is MIT-licensed and fully open source. You can use the desktop app or self-host a multi-user deployment on your own servers, keeping ownership of both your intelligence and your data.
