Make money with it
A freelancer could set up private document-chat assistants for local businesses and charge for setup and ongoing support.
An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.
Ways a business could use it
- Build an internal assistant that answers staff or customer questions from your own manuals, contracts and policies, saving support time
- Embed a document-based chat widget on your website to handle common customer questions without paying for a hosted chatbot
Can you use it commercially?
Free to use, change and sell, including in paid products. Keep the copyright notice.
Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.
Getting it running
Download the desktop app for Mac, Windows or Linux, or run the Docker version for multi-user and website widget features.
Follow the official instructions in the project README.
Things to check
- Cloud models such as OpenAI or Anthropic need paid API keys
- Local models run slowly without a capable computer or GPU
- Multi-user mode and the website widget work only in the Docker version
